Moth Beans (Matki / Turkish Gram)

Welcome to Siya Agri Exports LLP, your source for India's most resilient and nutritious legume-Moth Beans (Matki). Native to the arid deserts of Rajasthan, this small, brown-colored bean is a powerhouse of protein and calcium. It is famous for its nutty flavor and its incredible ability to sprout into long, delicate threads.

For the Indian diaspora, Matki is non-negotiable. It is the star ingredient of "Misal Pav," the spicy curry dish from Maharashtra that has gained global popularity. We understand that Matki is prone to containing small mud balls due to the sandy soil it grows in. That is why we supply strictly Sortex Cleaned beans, ensuring 100% purity so your customers can enjoy their sprouts without the risk of biting into a stone.

Why Choose Siya Agri Exports for Moth Beans?

High Germination for Sprouts

The "Usal" Requirement: Matki is rarely cooked whole; it is almost always sprouted first. Dead seeds turn mushy and smelly. We select Fresh Crop from Rajasthan that guarantees vigorous germination, producing long, crunchy sprouts within 12-18 hours.

100% Sand & Stone Free

The Cleaning Challenge: Since Moth Beans grow in sandy desert soil, the raw crop is often full of small stones that look exactly like the bean. Standard cleaning isn't enough. We use advanced Gravity Separators and Destoners to ensure your final product is completely safe to eat.

Applications & Uses

Misal Pav: The undisputed #1 use. Sprouted Matki is cooked in a spicy watery gravy (Rassa) and served with bread (Pav) and crunchy toppings.

Sprouts Salad: A high-protein breakfast staple, often eaten raw with lemon and chaat masala.

Dal Moth (Namkeen): Fried to make the famous crunchy savory snack "Dal Moth" or "Bikaneri Bhujia" base.

Curry: Cooked as a dry vegetable dish (MatkiUsal) in everyday Indian meals.

Logistics & Packaging

Dry Cargo: Matki has very low moisture content naturally, making it extremely shelf-stable. It travels excellently over long sea voyages without risk of fungus.

Retail Packs: We can pack in 500g/1kg branded bags for Indian grocery stores in the UK, USA, and Dubai.
