    Great for sprouting!

    I've been using these moth beans for sprouting salads, and they turn out perfect every time. Soaking overnight gives a good crunch after sprouting. Love the clean packaging too.

    Thank you, Ananya! Sprouting does enhance the nutrition. Happy cooking!

    Perfect for Misal Pav

    This matki is the real deal – makes the perfect base for Misal. The beans are uniform and cook evenly. Will definitely order again.

    Priya Menon
    Good quality but a bit pricey

    The beans are clean and fresh, no stones or dust. However, I find the price slightly higher than local stores. Still, the convenience of delivery and hygiene makes up for it.

    We appreciate your feedback, Priya. Our prices reflect the careful sourcing and hygienic processing. We'll try to offer more value in the future!

    Excellent protein source

    I'm a vegetarian and always look for high-protein legumes. This matki is a game-changer. I've added it to my daily diet and feel more energetic. Highly recommend!

    Good for digestion

    I suffer from bloating with other beans, but these moth beans are light and easy on the stomach. I soak them well and cook with ginger – perfect.

    Average taste, but healthy

    The beans are fine but the flavour is not as robust as I expected. Maybe it's just the batch. Nutritional value is great though.

    We're sorry to hear that, Amit. Taste can vary with cooking methods; try tempering with mustard and asafoetida for added flavour.

    Loved the Usal I made

    Made a traditional Maharashtrian Usal with this matki and it was a hit at home. The beans held their shape and were creamy inside. Will buy again.

    Good packaging, fresh beans

    The pouch is sturdy and resealable – a nice touch. Beans look clean and have a pleasant earthy aroma. Overall satisfied.

    Glad you liked the packaging, Vikram! We aim for quality in every detail.

    Deepa Nair
    Not as good as my local supplier

    I've been eating matki for years and this one is decent but not exceptional. The beans are smaller than I'm used to. Might not repurchase.

    Thank you for your honest review, Deepa. We source from different regions; sizes can vary naturally. We'll note your feedback.

    Healthy and filling

    I've replaced my evening snack with sprouted matki chaat. It's filling and keeps my blood sugar stable. Love the nutritional benefits.

    Good for weight management

    High fibre and protein – exactly what I needed. I've been adding matki to my salads and soups. It really curbs hunger pangs.

    That's wonderful to hear, Nisha! Matki is indeed a great addition to a weight-loss diet.

    Ramesh Singh
    Too much soaking time

    I wish they soaked faster. 8 hours is a long time, but I guess that's how it is. The beans are okay, nothing special.

    Hi Ramesh, you can try soaking in warm water for 4-5 hours to reduce time. We'll update our tips!

    Perfect for curries

    I made a spicy matki curry and it turned out delicious. The beans absorbed the flavours well and were tender. Highly recommended.

    Thank you, Arjun! Hygiene is our top priority.

    Great for sprout salads

    I've been making a sprouted matki and pomegranate salad – it's refreshing and healthy. The beans sprout well within 2 days.

    Firm texture, good for usal

    I've tried other brands that turn mushy, but these stay firm even after pressure cooking. Exactly what I need for usal.

    Vivek Sharma
    Not worth the premium

    I bought this expecting something extraordinary, but it's just like any other matki. The price is higher than market rate.

    We hear you, Vivek. We focus on quality and traceability, which adds cost. We'll try to balance pricing better.

    Anita Krishnan
    Love the QR code traceability

    Scanned the QR code and got details about the sourcing – that's a great initiative. Makes me trust the brand more.

    We're glad you noticed, Anita! Transparency is key for us.

    Good but need cooking time adjustment

    My usual cooking time didn't work – these took a bit longer to soften. Once cooked, they tasted fine.

    Thanks for the tip, Ritu. Soaking and pressure cooking times can vary; we'll include more detailed instructions.

    K
    Kavita Singh
    A bit bland

    The beans themselves are fine, but they lack that earthy kick I get from other sources. Maybe it's the variety.

    Thank you for your input, Kavita. Flavour can be enhanced with spices; we hope you'll try our recipe suggestions.

    Perfect for Misal Pav base

    Made Misal Pav for a family gathering and everyone asked for the recipe. The matki was the star – perfectly cooked and flavourful.

    Reasonable quality

    Nothing to complain, nothing to rave about. It's decent matki. I'll buy again if there's a discount.

    Love the resealable pouch

    The pouch is a great design – keeps the beans fresh after opening. I've used it multiple times and they remain crisp.

    Happy to hear that, Ravi! We put thought into packaging.
