Matki Usal
Sprouted moth beans in a coconut masala. Cheap, high protein, and it eats like a curry.
Ingredients
- 2 cups matki sprouts
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated coconut
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 tbsp goda or garam masala
- 2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 3 tbsp oil
Method
- Dry roast half the onion with the coconut until both are dark brown. Blend into a paste with a little water — this is the Maharashtrian trick.
- Mustard seeds in oil, rest of the onion till golden.
- Ginger-garlic, tomatoes, chilli powder, goda masala.
- Add the roasted paste, fry 4 minutes till the oil separates.
- Sprouts and 2 cups water, salt. Simmer 15 minutes.
- It should be soupy, not thick. Lemon, coriander, raw onion. Pav.
