Happy Ganesha Chaturthi!
Usli is a popular “prasada” at temples and made during festivals. It is basically cooked beans/legumes + spiced oggarane(tadka). I personally love them all, the one made with kadle(brown chickpeas) is my favorite.
This also makes for a great after school snack. Do try!
Ingredients
KadlekaaLu/ Brown Chick peas
Jaggery
Salt
Cilantro
Coconut - shredded
Tadka
Oil - coconut for extra flavor
Mustard seeds
Urad dal
Hing
Green chillies - according to taste
Ginger - finely chopped - optional
Curry leaves
Method
Wash and soak kadlekaaLu is enough water overnight. Pressure cook for 4-5 whistles(I sometimes add jaggery and very little salt while pressure cooking). Alternately you can cook this in bean mode in InstaPot.
Drain the water.
In a deep pan make tadka. Add coconut oil + mustard seeds. When it starts to sizzle add urad dal and hing. After the mustard seeds splutter, add finely chopped green chili, ginger and curry leaves(you can even pulse this in a mixie). Sauté till they are little fried. Add cooked and drained kaDlekaaLu. Add salt and jaggery. Toss well until everything comes together and the moisture is gone. Add finely chopped cilantro and shredded coconut. Mix well. Off the stove.
