Ingredients

    2 cups Green Moong Sprouts
    1 teaspoon Mustard seeds (Rai/ Kadugu)
    1 teaspoon Cumin seeds (Jeera)
    1 pinch Asafoetida (hing)
    1 teaspoon Jaggery, grated

    2 tablespoon Fresh coconut, grated
    1 tablespoon Oil

Instructions for Moongachi Usali (Goan Style Sprouted Green Gram Stir Fry)

    1

    To begin making the Moongachi Usali first pressure cook the sprouted green gram. To do this, add the sprouted green gram into a pressure cooker. Add enough water to submerge the sprouts and place it on the heat with the lid and whistle on.

    2

    Allow it to cook till you hear 3 whistles, after which you can switch it off. Let the pressure get released on its own, naturally.

    3

    Drain the pressure cooked sprouted green gram, retain the water as it is very nutritious and can be used in making roti dough or added to dals and curries.

    4

    Place a kadai/wok on the heat, add some oil and add mustard seeds to it.

    5

    When mustard seeds crackle, add cumin seeds and asafoetida and let it sputter.

    6

    Then after few seconds, add chopped green chilies and fry for few more seconds.

    7

    Add turmeric and red chili powder and stir together.

    8

    Now add the pressure cooked sprouted green gram to the kadai and mix well so all the flavours are well combined.

    9

    At the very end, sprinkle the grated coconut and jaggery and toss to combine once again.

    10

    Finally add salt to taste and serve along with Steamed Rice and Maharashtrain Amti, or with Chapati.
