Kala Vatana Usal

Kala vatana usal, a Maharashtrian style dish, features black peas in a medium spicy, coconut based gravy. Tempered with mustard seeds, cumin and curry leaves, it’s spiced with garlic, turmeric and red chilli powder. A touch of jaggery and tamarind adds sweet tangy depth. Garnished with coriander, this wholesome vegetable dish pairs perfectly with chapati or rice.
