Directions
Matki is a hindi word for Moth bean sprout. Unlike its unique taste it is a rich source magnesium and Folate. Folate builds immunity and maintains good heart health. moth bean does not take long time to cook, hence you can soak moth bean in water for overnight. The other day morning you can just let it boil for 15 minutes in a open vessel.
This can be had with gravy or simply boiled sprout as a high protein snack.
Take a handful of moth bean sprout and add 4 cups of water to it. as mentioned above soak and get it boiled. In a separate kadai, add oil, mustard seeds to splutter, jeera and curry leaves. lets start adding finely chopped onion and freshly hand ground ginger, garlic and green chilli paste. Adding some extra oil will give you extra flavour. Next add finely chopped tomato, cover and cook for 7 minutes. once it turns mushy and start adding spices like Kashmiri chilli powder, coriander powder , jeera powder and marathi garam masala. mix well and keep stirring. after five minutes add a cup of water, put in simmer and cover it.
Keeping it open while boiling may lead to loss of flavor at the end. garnish with a handful of finely chopped coriander leaves. thats all. Eat with bread, Bun or Phulka roti.
hope you enjoy it.
