Matki Sabzi Recipe is a simple, easy and healthy dish. This sabzi goes well as a side dish or when clubbed with roti or rice. You only require sprouted matki which you could sprout at home or buy from the stores. Matki are brown in color and also known as moth beans.
I usually sprout grains at home. As it’s much safer and healthy option. You could also sprout grain at home. Just take a damp cloth and place the grain in them. Place overnight or for 2-3 days. Just ensure you keep the cloth moist with water. Alternatively, you could soak them in water and keep changing the water every day. Once it sprouts then use them as required or keep in the fridge which would last for longer days.
We love sprouts so make them in various ways. This recipe is a quicker version and made with basic ingredients easily found in your kitchen. You could even pack this as a lunch box, side dish or quick meal.
Personally dry sprout sabzi tastes great with chapati, phulkas or even toasted bread. If it’s sprout usual then tastes great with pav or rice. In-fact you could add some farsan on top and eat as usal pav.
If you don’t have matki then use any sprouted grain like mung or masoor. Only boil them or pressure cook them before cooking. This is my own recipe and always make such simple yet healthy dish for my loved ones.
