Notes
- Green Chili Pepper: I typically use Thai, Birdeye or Serrano Chili Pepper in my recipes. Don't forget to adjust to your taste.
- Vegan variation: Use oil when tempering in step 1.
- Sprouts Stir Fry Variation: You can also make sprouted lentils as a dry stir fry (subzi), add just 1 cup of water when cooking. The water will get all soaked and the sprouts will be well cooked.
- Matki Usal Variation: When this sprouts stir fry is made with moth beans and cooked with grated coconut, it is called Matki Usal in Marathi. I would add about 1/4 cup of grated coconut along with moth beans in the above recipe before pressure cooking.
- Created: This recipe was created in a 6qt Instant Pot DUO60 Multi-use Pressure Cooker.
