My Notes
+ You can add in other veggies along with mochai like brinjal,drumstick etc etc. You can even use fresh
beans for this recipe
+ Bolling for more time gives the gravy a nice flavour.
+ Allow atleast 30mins sitting time for the mochai to absorb the curry well. Also this kuzhambu thickens
with time so adjust and switch off accordingly.
+ While tempering, you can even add cinnamon, cloves instead of mustard and urad dal.
