    Mixed veg kootu recipe | Mixed vegetable kootu

    September 25, 2008 by Raks Anand 35 Comments /

    This kootu is not avial and tastes different from that.This is a nice accompaniment for rice. This is one of my mom’s staple recipe that we love. My brother asks 2nd and 3rd servings if she makes this one. I try hard to recreate it, but she has a magic in her hand which turns it delicious, that magic is Love!

      hi,

      if we add onions finally means does the raw smell goes of immediately?

      Just 2 or 3 shallots (small onions) and its raw smell is the highlight of the kootu. Do try it.
