Ugadela Math/ Sprouted Math Stir Fry is an easy to make, delicious way to prepare sprouted math or moth beans, Gujarati style. Math or Moth Beans look like moong beans but are pale yellow in colour.

Notes
- You can enjoy ugadela math on its own, add chopped onion, tomato and some lemon juice.
- I prefer cooking sprouted moth in a pressure cooker so they cook well and are not hard.
- If you prefer, you can cook them in a pan. You may have to add extra water. Cook till done.
- When you sprout moth, remember to wash them frequently as they tend to become slimy and smelly very quickly.
