One of my readers requested for recipes with moth beans -- matki.
These are one of my favorite beans to cook, as they do not require
pre-soaking. Sprouting these is also easy compared to any other
beans. So I use them frequently. This is one recipe I made up. This
is not any traditional recipe, but I decided to name it amti anyway.
This was very delicious. I served it with flavored rice and it made a
very nice meal. You could even serve this for guests.
Beans:
Cook 1 cup moth beans, drain, and refridgerate.
Paste:
This is the longest step.
Grind spices. Fry in butter. Add onion and garlic, cook until
transparent. Add cilantro, cook until wilted. Mix well
Dish:
Heat butter and add cumin seeds. When they start popping, add onion.
Fry until they turn brownish. Now add tomato, salt and cook until
tomatoes are mushy. Add chopped chopped spinach, beans, and ground
paste. Cook until done.
Serve hot with flavored rice or rotis/chapatis.
