Pachai Mochai Masala is a flavorful South Indian curry made with fresh field beans, aromatic spices, and a rich onion-tomato base. This comforting dish is especially popular during the winter season when pachai mochai is in abundance. The beans add a nutty texture and earthy taste that pairs beautifully with the spicy, tangy masala. Traditionally served with steamed rice, chapati, or dosa, this wholesome curry brings together the warmth of home-style cooking and the vibrant flavors of Tamil cuisine.
