Moth Dal

Description

Moth Dal also known across Maharashtra and Gujarat as matki, is the small, olive-brown legume behind one of Mumbai's most iconic street foods: misal pav, where sprouted moth beans form the spicy, tangy base that has made this dish a breakfast staple across the state.
Hariom Moth Dal delivers premium-quality moth beans, valued for their firm bite, earthy flavour, and exceptional suitability for sprouting.

Few legumes sprout as readily and nutritiously as moth beans, the sprouting process significantly increases their already strong protein and fibre content while making the nutrients considerably more bioavailable.
This is part of why matki has become a go-to ingredient for health-conscious cooks focused on weight management and clean, plant-based eating. Beyond misal, sprouted moth beans make excellent salads, and the dried beans cook into a hearty, satisfying curry that's a staple of Maharashtrian and Rajasthani home kitchens.
