Masoorchi Usali is a quick and simple stir fry that we make in Goa. In Goa we make different types of usali or usal. Moogachi usali (Black Lentil stir fry) and chanyachi usali (gram stir fry) is all time favorite. However, I thought of making this usali with masoor and it turned delicious. You can make it with sprouts too. On the days when we fast, we make this dish without onion. Masoor is a lentil and contains carbohydrates. They are a good source of dietary fiber. They are low in fat and calories but rich in vitamins. This is a nutritious dish which can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can eat it as a side with rice and moolyacho ross or have it with rotis for dinner. We simply love to eat a bowl of this protein filled nutritious dish for breakfast too. Oh yes, you can use this usal as a stuffing to make yummy sandwiches too.

Serve Goan Masoorchi Usali along with Phulkas and Steamed rice for a weekday Goan meal.
