    spring onion kootu

    Spring onion, vengaya thal can be made delicious kootu, the procedure also very simple. Learn how to make kootu with spring onion/ vengaya thal with step by step pictures, full video.

    I came to know about spring onion only after marriage, once my mami made kootu out of it. I did not like it that much, but it's the family favorite there. So far, this is the first time I am making this kootu myself. I thought over years my taste would have changed towards vengaya thal kootu. When I had first time earlier, I had terrible nausea and even sambar boiling smell would make me throw up.

    When I tasted for first time, I did throw up. This time when I made, it came out good and Vj told it was really delicious. I still have to develop taste for it. I had with roti and it was good, but never liked it as side dish/ with rice.

    Notes

    • Adding sugar is to retain the green. You can also add a tiny pinch of cooking soda to retain green.
    • Reduce dal if you want. You can add just ¼ cup too.
    • After adding dal, make sure to stir as it will get burnt at the bottom if boiled without stirring.
