Marathi Moggu Powder, Red Silk Cotton Tree Pods Powder
The unopened buds or pods of the Red Silk Tree are brown in colour when dried and pointed. Sometimes they are confused with Capers (Capparis Spinosa), as they look similar in pictures. But these are definately not Capers.
Marathi Moggu has a fragrant taste and is used in specialist South Indian (especially in North Karnatka) cuisine such as “Chettinad Chicken” “Bissi Belle Bath” & “Vaangi Bath” etc
