hi,
from a programme on agriculture telecast in the ‘podhigai’ TV I came to know that maratti moggu is the immature pod of silk cotton tree that drops down.

Hey Indira, We were introduced to these spices when we first tasted Pedatha’s Vaangi Baath. We have not found the English names after much search. They are truly flavoursome and lend an exotic and distinct taste to the dishes. Clear pictures as always .

Hi,

I know my mil used Marathi mogu for Bise bale bath and sometimes in channa masala, it definitely adds a different flavour

Indira,

Thanks for posting these photos. You’ve cleared up lots of doubts. I wonder if Penzey’s or Kalystan’s has them.
