Mochai Kuzhambu looks soooooo mouthwatering...
We make exactely the same way, and U can send to legume love affair if u want.
If we add some dry fish the gravy takes a whole new level!

Warming and delicious. Eggplant with beans sounds very good. Drumsticks are on my list of new veggies to try.
Oh my god this sounds and looks divine,love the drumstick and coconut paste combo.
I buy these beans when they are fresh, but they rot before I can make anything with them, so I gave up.
Thanks for the entry, it looks hearty.
