FAQS

  1. Can I prepare Matki Bhel in advance?

    It's best to prepare Matki Bhel just before serving to keep it crispy. If you need to prep ahead, chop the vegetables and keep the dry ingredients ready, but mix them only when ready to eat.

    Matki refers to moth beans, which are commonly used in Indian cuisine. They are often sprouted and sautéed for dishes like bhel.

  3. Can I make this recipe vegan?

    Yes, Matki Bhel is naturally vegan as it does not contain any animal-derived ingredients.

  4. What can I substitute for raw mango?

    If raw mango is unavailable, you can use a few drops of tamarind paste or amchur powder for a similar tangy flavor.

  5. Is Matki Bhel gluten-free?

    Matki Bhel can be gluten-free if you ensure that the farsan used does not contain any gluten ingredients.
