Method
- Cook 2 cups of Watana (white peas) with a pinch of turmeric and salt until tender but not mushy. Keep the cooking water (this is the "Usal").
- Add 3 tbsp Oil in a deep pan. (Misal requires a bit more oil ). Add 1 tsp Mustard seeds and a few Curry leaves. Add 1 large finely chopped tomato and cook until oil separates. Add 2.5 Tablespoons of Galaji Mumbai Usal Misal Masala. Stir quickly on low heat so the spices don't burn.
- Add the cooked Matki along with its water. Add more hot water if needed to achieve a thin, soup-like consistency. Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes until a bright red oil layer floats on top.
- Add a squeeze of lemon and fresh coriander. Pour the thin gravy (Usal) into a bowl. Top it with a generous handful of Farsan (spicy mix).
- Serve with soft Pav and a lemon wedge. For Onion & Garlic Lovers: Add finely chopped onion and garlic in tadka before tomatoes.
