About Usal
Usal is a flavorful, protein-rich dish originating from the western Indian states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. It is typically made with sprouted legumes such as moong (mung beans), matki (moth beans), or black-eyed peas, cooked with onions, tomatoes, spices, and a blend of curry leaves, mustard seeds, turmeric, and chili. This wholesome curry is often served with bread, rice, or as part of a traditional thali. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, Usal supports digestive health, boosts energy, and aids muscle repair. Sprouted legumes enhance nutrient absorption, while the spices like turmeric and chili offer anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting benefits. However, the dish’s healthiness can depend on preparation – excessive oil or salted accompaniments may add unwanted fats and sodium. A hearty and balanced choice for vegetarian and vegan diets, Usal is both satisfying and nutritious.
