Parangikai kootu recipe, yellow pumpkin kootu

May 11, 2018 by Raks Anand 1 Comment / Jump to Recipe

parangikai kootu recipe

Simple and easy yellow pumpkin, parangikai also known as manjal poosanikai kootu recipe, that goes well with puli kuzhambu, vathal kuzhambu and kara kuzhambu.

I make kootu more often at home to escape from sambar, as it is the only thing Aj and Vj eats in common next to sambar. I can make sambar maximum 3 times a week, not more than that as it kind of bores me to make it every day.

Made this paragikkai kootu last time when I made mango murngakkai vatha kuzhambu. Clicked with a surprise that I have not yet posted in my blog yet.

Very simple and basic kootu, made similar to suraikai kootu. I was not sure about adding dal in this kootu, if my mom and mom in law adds or not, but I added it.

Check out my other kootu recipes.
