Kathirikkai Mochakottai fry (Brinjal Fieldbeans fry)

Mochakottai which is known as Fieldbeans taste really good with brinjal either in dry or semi-dry curry.  This can be served with rice or rotis.  I used dried mochakottai, so I soaked overnight & pressure cooked.  This curry taste really delicious with fresh mochakottai.  During the season, I try to freeze the beans for later use.  Add coconut paste for semi-dry version.  Try this and you will like it:)
