Tips and Suggestions by Mom Chef:-

• To make the sprouts, tie the soaked moth/matki in the muslin cloth for 4 to 5 hours.
• You can add peanut powder instead of grated fresh coconut.
• If you don’t have Goda Masala then you can use regular garam masala as well.
• Adjust the spiciness according to your taste.
• Do not overcook the usal. Cook only for 1 whistle in the pressure cooker then immediately switch off the gas and open it. Else it will turn mushy.
• You can serve it alone or with homemade pav and Mango pickle.
