how to make tendli matki sabzi recipe

To make tendli matki sabzi recipe | ivy gourd vegetable | tendli sprouts bhaji | healthy tendli sabzi | heat 2 tsp oil in a non-stick kadhai.
Add ¼ tsp cumin seeds (jeera).
When the seeds crackle, add ½ cup chopped onions. Onions are one of the first ingredients added in the tempering process. As they saute, they release their sugars and flavorful compounds, forming the base for the entire dish.

Add 1 tsp finely chopped green chillies.
Sauté on a medium flame for a minute or till the onions turn translucent.
Add ½ cup chopped tomatoes. Tomatoes bring a touch of natural sweetness and a hint of tartness that balances the earthy flavors of tendli (ivy gourd) and matki (moth beans). This creates a more complex and interesting flavor profile.
Mix well and cook for another minute.
Add ¼ tsp turmeric powder (haldi). Turmeric has a vibrant yellow color that gives the sabzi a warm, inviting appearance. Turmeric is known for its curcumin content, which has anti-inflammatory properties.

Add ½ tsp chilli powder.
Add 1½ tsp coriander-cumin seeds (dhania-jeera) powder.
Mix well.
Add 1½ cups thinly sliced tendli (ivy gourd). Tendli is the primary vegetable in the recipe. It provides a slightly crunchy texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with the spices and other ingredients. Tendli is a good source of vitamins and minerals, including fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. It adds a healthy element to the dish.
Add 1 cup sprouted matki (moath beans). Matki, also known as moth beans, are a great source of plant-based protein. They add a significant protein punch to the dish, making it a more well-rounded meal. Matki is also rich in fiber, which aids digestion and keeps you feeling fuller for longer.

Add salt to taste.
Add ½ cup of water.
Mix well.
Cover with a lid and cook on a medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Add garnish with coriander leaves.

Serve the tendli matki sabzi recipe | ivy gourd vegetable | tendli sprouts bhaji | healthy tendli sabzi | hot.

pro tips to make tendli matki sabzi recipe

Choose young, tender tendli for the best texture. Avoid thick or mature ones, which can be bitter.
Instead of matki you can also use moong sprouts to make this recipe.
Do not overcook the sabzi. Tendli cooks quickly. Overcooking makes it mushy. Aim for a slight crunch.
A squeeze of lemon juice or a touch of lemon zest can brighten up the flavors.

A very unique combination of vegetable and sprout.. but to my surprise.. it was interestingly delicious.. i loved the crunch from the matki sprouts... and the tang from the tomatoes makes this dish even more appetizing..
