Matkichi usal /mothbeans stir fry /matkichi amti :
Matki, MothBeans or Moat is a small brown bean. It is particularly popular & favourite in Marathi /maharashtrian cuisine. Now Usal can be a dry stir fry made with beans or a liquid curry. We like both the consistencies. It is a dry stir fry when you need to carry in the lunch box and watery for enjoyment at home.This Matki usal is also used in Misal of Misal-Pav
