About Punjabi Sabut Moth Dal

Moth beans are small, brown, dried, split beans with a strong, earthy aroma. Sabut Moth Dal sprouts are often used in regional Indian cuisine to prepare cheela, pulao, khichdi or chaat. The influence of Mughlai cuisine led to several seasonings, such as saffron and nuts, and to cooking in the "Dum" style, or sealed pot, called the matki process. A Punjabi lentil-based meal, Makti Moth beans, is made in a matki (pot). The Maharastrian variant is called usal and can also be combined with other masalas into matki amti. Amti is a thin, tangy and spicy adaptation of the gravy.
