Mochakottai Parangikai Kuzhambu or Field Beans Pumpkin Kulambu or mochaikottai kara kuzhuambu is one of the best kuzhambu recipes hands down. It's one of my most favorite and this wonderful kuzhambu is introduced to me by my dear friend Dharani, when she used to stay near me she will share this mochaikottai kulambu whenever she makes, this recipe special this mochaikottai kuzhambu is made during Temple festival in Erode.


And she follows the tradition here and make this amazing kulambu during festive time and thus I got introduced to this wonderful kulambu. This kuzhambu is sweet, tangy, spicy and field beans is just wonderful to eat. Even if you don't like South Indian food and specially kulambu variety then you should try this. DH who doesn't like any kuzahmbu, rasam like this one as pumpkin brings the sweetness and creamy mochaikottai is wonderful combination.  This kuzhambu is so good that I didn't wanted to any any other thing in the pictures not even rice on side to keep the focus only on the star here :)
