Mochai Pulungari is a kerala dish with dry beans. Basic version of Pulungari is something we make in our day to day menu. Pulungari with different vegetable combinations. But this one, Mochai Pulungari/Kara Kulambu has some JK’s twist ;). I can’t actually call it a Kerala cuisines’ pulungari or a tamilnadu cuisines’ kara kulambu. It is a mix of both. We love this one and it goes well for dosa/idli and rice. We can plan to cook them for both lunch and breakfast . Hassle free menu planning ;). This is also called Butter beans (English) and amarapayar(Malayalam).mochai pulungari/kara kulambu
