“Usli” is a word in Konkani language. It generally means a dry dish. This is a breakfast dish or an evening snack. It is a very tasty dish and can be prepared quickly. This “usli” can also be prepared from leftover bread slices.

Onion | 1 medium |
Potatoes boiled (optional) | 1 medium |

Curry leaves | 1 sprig |
Corriander leaves | 1 small bunch |
Mustard seeds | 1 tsp |
Oil | 1 tbsp |
Turmeric | ½ tsp |
Buttermilk | 2 tbsps |
