Moongachi Usali (Goan Style Sprouted Green Gram Stir Fry) by Archana’s Kitchen

Must Try


  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • Add turmeric and red chili powder and stir together.

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

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

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