For last year Navratri I have posted 4 to 5 varieties of sundal and two sweets. This year I have started with green lima beans and in Tamil it is called Pachai Mochai. My mom makes puli kuzhambu with dried lima beans and very rare we get this Pachai Mochai. This sundal is very easy to make and tastes awesome. For naivedhyam we prepare many varieties and you make this easy sundal as one of the menu. It just has three steps and it will save your time to concentrate on other things on the festival days.
INGREDIENTS:
Pachai Mochai /
Lima beans - 1 Cup
Grated coconut - 3 tsp
Salt - as needed

Oil - 1/2 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
Urad dhal - 1/2 tsp
Red chillies - 1 break into pieces
Hing - a pinch
Curry leaves - few
HOW TO MAKE:
Wash lima beans and pressure cook it with 2 cups of water. Allow one whistle. Drain the water and keep aside.

Dried lima beans / mochai also can be used. If you use dried one, soak it in previous night and pressure cook it with 4 to 5 whistles.
