Kootu, a thick stew made with vegetable, moong dal and freshly ground coconut spice paste. Kootu is an integral part in any South Indian Thali, especially in Tamilnadu meals. In any restaurants, marriages or even at homes during festivals, we make elaborate lunch with rice, dal, 2 types of poriyal, 2 types of kootu, sambar, rasam and much more. Most common kootu varieties are white pumpkin, snake gourd, cabbage, cucumber and chow chow. But we can also make with other vegetables like beans, carrot, brinjal etc.

We can make Poosanikai kootu in 2 different ways

  1. We can cook the pumpkin, chanadal and cook along with coconut-spice paste. This is very simple and quick to make
  2. Another method is the once explained in this recipe. Instead of using fresh coconut, we are going to fry the coconut along with coriander seeds, bengal gram, red chili and grind it to paste. This paste along with moong dal makes this kootu interesting. Not only as an accompaniment, this kootu can also be mixed with rice. This kootu can also be served as a side for Roti.

You can also try:

  1. White Pumpkin Kootu
  2. Chow chow kootu
  3. Cucumber Kootu
  4. Ladysfinger Puli Kootu
