Mochai Sundal:

Mochaikottai Sundal. Broad Beans Sundal.

Ingredients:

Dry Broad Beans (yellow/brown,small/large)
Salt
Ginger 2" grated
Garlic 6 beads with skin - semi crushed
Dry red chilies 6 tear and bruise them
Curry leaves few
Asafoetida 1/4 spoon
Mustard seeds 1/4 spoon
Sesame oil few spoons.

Method:

Soak overnight the seeds in a large pot. It gets imbibed and swells....so leave enough room for it.

Always soak them in the fridge, never ever on counter top! Yeah ....it leads to fermentation some times!

Now the other day, add salt to the smae water. Pressure cook till tender. It took me 15 whistles today!

In a small pan, add oil. Toss the seasonning items. Wait up to crackle, now add cooked beans and cook till moisture leaves the pan!

Serve warm as an evenning filler!
