About Chawli usal

Chawli Usal is a flavorful curry originating from Indian cuisine, particularly popular in the western state of Maharashtra. It is made using black-eyed peas (chawli or lobia) simmered in a spiced onion-tomato base, seasoned with garlic, ginger, mustard seeds, and fragrant Indian spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Often garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime, this dish is typically served with rice or roti. As a plant-based dish, Chawli Usal is rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and potassium, making it a wholesome option for vegetarians and vegans. The slow cooking of legumes aids in digestibility, while its minimal use of oil adds to its health appeal. However, depending on preparation, excessive oil or salt may reduce its nutritional benefits. Overall, Chawli Usal offers a hearty and balanced inclusion to a healthy diet.
