Well...........recently, in a restaurant, I tasted this koottu , served in a thali meal, and I tell you, the taste was divine!!!
Then, I scrutinized the recipe, trying to guess what all could have gone inside this tasty dish, mentally visualized how the recipe would have been made......came home, tried it, viola!!!! it was the same....feel so happy to share this wonder-koottu recipe with you all. It is a nice twist to the usual mundane south indian koottu varieties.
It has the low-cal ash gourd/white pumpkin, protein rich split mung dhal and black eyed chick peas/karamani, lycopene rich tomato, and cholesterol reducer pearl onion. So, what more you need????
And, this is a nice side for chapathis also.
This happens to be my 300th recipe.....thank you all!!!
