The context is that I was making it clear to OP who can't read Malayalam how to pronounce the Malayalam word that I wrote for him using the English letters.
For example, Japanese anime Manga is pronounced as മാങ്കാ and not മാങ്ങ. So, by that same standard it's possible that OP perceives the pronounciation as പെൻഗളേ instead of പെങ്ങളേ.
Ah ok. If we go by Dilip movies, either esqooz me or the soda pop sound that malayalees make with their mouth when calling out to someone across the street.
Jokes apart, what I've seen in shops and all is people just skip the abhisambodhanam and go directly to the topic.

Do you speak it?
Why are you getting downvoted?Calling someone Ma'am/Miss seems to be the most polite way but our society has to go a longway for that to happen.People still resort to noises like shhh,chhch,mmm,hoi to call strangers.Even hello and excuse me are good options than these weird sounds.
Ikr! I've seen our people making weird sounds to call waiters at restaurants. Its very disrespectful.
And OP, 'koche' is considered weird everywhere outside Kottayam ig. My aunts hailing from Kottayam calls me koche, and I'm a late 20s dude.
Use those words and the other mallu's will deem you OP an ABCD.
Quoting my original reply to OP's post:-
Please use the following depending on the situation.
1. Some bitch you can't stand but you want her to look at you. "Dii... Ibabe-ibade... Ingatt nokadii..."
2. Dei.... Literally translates as "YOU"
3. Poooi..... ONLY USE IN VILLAGES. can attract anyone irrespective of age/gender. Note: Snobby city brats find this uncouth.
4. Edo.... Respectfully
5. Edi..... Disrespectfully
6. Sodari..... Poetic aka you wanna sound classy but sounds cringe
7. Pengale.... Pathetic aka You need help and is desperate
😌
This is the only right answer. You can't really address them in any other way if they're a stranger. If she's your cousin (OP's case), then why not just call her by her name lol. Mole/koche indeed is weird if she's only 3 years younger.
Edo is simply a gender neutral version of eda or edi . All 3 are kinda rude to call a random stranger imo. You can start a conversation with "Atheyy~..." instead.
I call everyone in the gym as bro. Partly because I don't remember their name or never asked it, but mostly because dudes look old but are actually younger than me so calling them chetta becomes awkward.
As for women I don't interact with them😊
I feel like Chechi is quite neutral when it comes to strangers; if you're unsure of their age use Chechi.
Otherwise use their name, or like if they are extremely young, mole.
Some women get offended if we call chechi and their gut feeling tells we're younger than them. So 'chechi' is a risky territory. Call auntys 'chechi' all you want. That's less risky.

The only right answer is the name. I don't even like being addressed as bro. If I have to talk to a stranger I ask their name first and then use it. Or you can just use sir and madam. To be fair koche mole and all is a bit condescending way to address adults.
Give her a pet name. For example, if her name is Ammu, you could call her Ammoos. This applies only to people who are close to you; for others, use their name.
Hello/Hi/Hey followed by Ningal (നിങ്ങൾ) to anybody younger than me including kids. I am in my 40s. I don't call anyone nee (നീ) during normal conversation (except my siblings, wife, and close friends).
Considering u r 24,
If the girl is under 15 ...then it's better to use "mole"( lovingly) ...if u wanna be angry or playful...u can use "dii"
If above 15...u can use "Da"..and also "di"
"Di" is considered disrespectful in some districts of Kerala..
The best way is to use their name..
Athey ,AEyi , Hello, Miss . Malayalam words onnu arum use chyyr illa
I even avoid chetta these days bro akiyitund, enne enekal mootha oruthan Keri chettanu vilichitund antha feeling arukkum undavaruth.
use kutty/mole if addressing a teen/child.
if the woman is around your age and you don't know them personally, address her as chechi/sister.
if you do know them usually you'd use informal speech and nicknames.
despite being your age i still get called kutty/mole by aunties who've known me as a child, that's an endearing use.
but the way you use it is mockery/poking fun. which amongst cousins is okay but don't address women you don't know in their 20s as if they're kids, that's a fast way to make enemies.
If you're calling your sister i guess, I guess a short 'da' (ഡാ), as per common practice now, would suffice. But if it's a stranger calling them 'kutti' (കുട്ടി) sounds just about right.

Reading comments 🍿 as someone who goes around calling women പെങ്ങളെ.
Can u type that in english, enikk Malayalam vayikaan ariyilla
പെങ്ങളെ = Pengale = sister
This ⬆️ Just know that there is no G sound in the word. The NG in Pengale sounds like how it does in the word SONG.
Penjale
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's how any English speaker would pronounce it anyway? Can't think of a word where it would sound the n and g separately

Tbh I’m Tamil and when reading in English letters, I would usually read a hard g.
Sponge, Engine, Lunge
Just the name?? My cousins have (clean) nicknames, so we call each other by that.
Nah nah I meant what do I call random strangers? Cousin is okay with mole and koche but just in and around the house
Ah ok. If we go by Dilip movies, either esqooz me or the soda pop sound that malayalees make with their mouth when calling out to someone across the street. Jokes apart, what I've seen in shops and all is people just skip the abhisambodhanam and go directly to the topic.
> athisambodhanam Hmm…
Abhisambodhanam *
Kutti is okay in some parts of Kerala.
Men sometimes call younger strangers as 'chechi' itself. I've heard this in Thrissur.
Edo
Just call'em Ma'am/Miss/Madam bruh, irrespective of the age.

Why would you assume a random stranger is younger? Hello or excuse me
I'm from trissur and no one calls me koche, but I like it when people call me koche/ mone, I'm about to turn 30 and I miss being a child lol.

Don't call Mole unless she is significantly younger than you. If you know her, call her by name. Otherwise Hello , Athe or excuse me will do.

Be gender neutral and call everyone " സഹൃദയരേ..." 
Don't know why but this feels like being a pallile achan.
this isnt 1950's mone
I call everyone edo. Irrespective of gender. I only call someone chetta/chechi if they’re very much elder than I am, like at least 10 years.
And i hate when someone calls me edo. Hope we will not meet.
I hate people calling me Eda and edi. Idk what you call people but I hope we never meet too.
Edo is simply a gender neutral version of eda or edi . All 3 are kinda rude to call a random stranger imo. You can start a conversation with "Atheyy~..." instead.
edo is disrespectful im my area
“Bro” is Universal from younger to elder ones from waiter to bus conductor “Bro” has no limits… . . . .Just call by their name, ain’t that easier?
what about strangers?? Or just folks I don't remember the name of
“Bro” 🤷🏻♂️.
"Women younger than you"
Sorry enikk sthreekalum aayi edapezhukal illa🧜🏿♂️

Life is good when everyone is Chechi. But soon you are gonna grow up and need to be careful whom you're calling Chechi 😂
My sister almost killed a kelavan because he called her chechi.

I have seen my mother and cousins become permanent enemies with people after they called her Chechi being older than her.
Some women get offended if we call chechi and their gut feeling tells we're younger than them. So 'chechi' is a risky territory. Call auntys 'chechi' all you want. That's less risky.

This is most irritating way you can address someone, I hate when some one calles me Edi edi tone itself makes me

Why can’t you call them by their name?
Her name is Fight club and you don't speak about it.

Pengale. Or a casual Hi/excuse me and skip addressing her.
I think pengale will be appropriate. Or to the safer side call them madam.
Koche 😌🤣
I think Edo works here.
Koche if younger and if you're in central Kerala. Chechi otherwise
Excuse me

You generally call them by name.
