Mochai Kulambu / Mochai Kathrikai Kara Kuzhambu (Field beans and Brinjal in tangy gravy)

Mochai Kara kulambu is a native style South Indian gravy / kulambu variety and is easy to make. In this recipe I have used fresh mochai; this goes well with rice paired with any mild stir fry or even with pappad. 


Ingredients:
Mochai (field beans) - ½ cup (fresh)
Brinjal - 3 (Cut lengthwise)
Small onion - 10 (finely chopped)
Garlic - 6 to 8 cloves (finely chopped)
Tomato - 1 (finely chopped)
Tamarind - 1 big gooseberry size
Red chillipowder - 1 tsp
Corriander powder- 2 tsp
Turmeric powder - ½ tsp

For Grinding:

Pepper - ½ tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Coconut - 1 to 2 tbsp
For Seasoning:
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Fenugreek seeds - ½ tsp

Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Hing (Asafoetida) - a pinch

Oil - 1 to 2 tbsp (Preferably sesame oil)
