I had this kootu in my friend ‘B’s place,she made this with her yummy tangy,spicy kaara kuzhambu so this one made an awesome combo with its mild and flavorful taste! We make it usually with moong dal and sambar powder. But this is so easy and so different from the usual recipe, so obviously I loved it. So tried it.
Pudalangai kootu recipe
Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Serves: 2
Ingredients
Kadalai paruppu/ channa dal - ¼ cup
Paasi paruppu /mung dal - 2 tblsp
Turmeric - 2 pinches
Salt - As needed
To grind
Rice flour - ¼ tsp
Green chilli - 2-3 nos
Cumin seeds - ¾ tsp
Small onion/shallots - 2 nos.
To temper
Mustard - ¾ tsp
Urad dalSna /Ulutham paruppu - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - A sprig
Method
- Clean and cut the snake gourd to ur desired size cubes.I chopped little fine.
- Take both the dhals in a small pressure cooker and just add enough water to immerse the dal. Add turmeric and stir well.
- Add the chopped veggie over it (don’t stir)
- Pressure cook till 2-3 whistles in medium flame.(I kept in one of my pressure cooker container,along with rice..not directly.You can follow stove top method as well!)
- Grind the coconut,rice flour and green chillies first ,with little water and then add the cumin seeds and shallot lastly and grind coarsely.
- Open the pressure cooker after the pressure gets released by itself.Add the ground paste and salt and mix in well and bring to boil.
- After it boils,switch off the heat and temper it with the items given under the To temper table.
Serve as accompaniment with vatral kuzhambu or kaara kuzhambu… I tasted with roti,tasted good too 🙂
One sad news 😭 I dropped my camera down and my lens which I use for taking step wise picture is stuck…I have to take it to Nikon service centre and get it done,which will not happen in recent days. May take more than 2 weeks. Still I have another lens,so hopefully I will post some recipes but not sure about stepwise pictures! Even this was lying in my drafts as this is a simple and boooooring recipe😰.
And since most of you all are going on break and holidays,I am wishing you all bloggers and my readers A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wishing each and every one a Prosperous New year!!
Catch you all after New year!
