Mochai sundal recipe – Field beans sundal recipe – Sundal recipe for Navaratri with step-by-step pictures.
Mochai sundal is one among the sundal which my amma makes during navaratri. This mochai she rarely cooks and to be more precise she cooks only during navaratri for sundal only. I use this for making Kara kuzhambu and sometimes in Vathakuzhambhu too. I just made this mochai sundal with a similar spice mix that has been used for KALYANA RASAM, omitting the pepper and jeera. A very Happy Navaratri to all of you.
