Mochai sundal recipe, mochai malli sundal

mochai-sundal-recipe

Mochai sundal recipe with coriander and lemon added for extra zing. Mochai is by itself very flavourful, with coriander added to it, it turns out really delicious and flavourful.

I make kuzhambu with mochai mostly and love it totally. Also, love fresh mochai, in the mixed vegetable kootu and in brinjal curry. But this is the first time I am making sundal with dried mochai and loved it. Vj too loved it a lot, so I was really happy with the outcome. I wanted to make something different from the usual, so added coriander leaves ground along with coconut and gave finishing touch with a squirt of lemon. At the end, it was quite refreshing for a change from the regular sundals.

Every Navaratri time, I always look for unique sundal recipes and this one was there in my mind but was skeptical to experiment. When need comes, we have to right? So this year, I confidently tried this and didn’t repent. I always forget mochai in stock and end up making kuzhambu always. Sure this will be a nice way to finish off the mochaikottai stock by making sundal often.

Mochai is also known by different names such as val beans, mochai payaru and mochakottai.
