Matkay May Matki



I am sick and tired of seeing Matki in Matki usal. I mean it does have a charm of its own but  yesterday I was not in a mood to make chapatis. But this soup marathon has got to stop. I am getting lazy to make the chapatis and the rice and the dal and the raita just because I made Matkichi usal !! I guess the next few recipes will have to be Indian food.

Ingredients and Method:

1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp each of ginger and garlic paste
1 cup frozen vegtables
1 cup Ragu Pizza sauce
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 chicken bouillon cubes (optional)
1 15oz can of red kidney beans
1 cup soaked matki or moth beans

Soak the moth beans for 6 to 8 hours in water.  Keep aside.

Heat oil in a pressure cooker.  Add 1 small finely chopped onions and sautee until translucent.  Add 1/2 tsp ginger paste and 1/2 tsp garlic paste and sautee till aromatic.  Now add 1 cup frozen vegetables and stir for a few minutes.  Add 1 cup Ragu Pizza Sauce and stir.  Let sit for a few minutes until oil separates from the paste.  Add 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp Weber Cajun Seasoning, 1 tsp worcestershire sauce, and 2 chicken bouillon cubes.  Add the matki.  Pressure cook the mixture for 2 whistles.  When all the pressure is released from the cooker, add a can of red kidney beans and let it come to a boil.  Now simmer the soup uncovered for 10 minutes.  Serve with hot cheese bread.
