Mangochi Curry (Moong dal Kofta Curry)

March 31, 2015 By Nisha

Mangochi curry is a Kayastha speciality delicacy. Mangochi curry made from moong dal are cooked in traditional yogurt and cashew gravy.

First a word about Kayasthas: In traditional hindu beliefs and caste system Kayasthas were given the role of Book-keepers for the state. Kayastha means ‘scribe’ in Sanskrit and have acted as record-keepers and administrators of the state. According to the Hindu scriptures known as the Purans, Kayasthas are descended from Chitragupta Maharaj, who was born from the body of Brahma (ref Wikipedia).

Back to the recipe: Normally the pakoda’s are made out of besan but here i have made them with moong dal.
