Kootu Kari

A thick, comforting dish where vegetables and lentils cook together with a ground coconut paste. Kootu sits between a curry and a thoran — richer than a stir-fry, thicker than a soup.

200 g Bengal gram dal kadala parippu
100 g Cucumber
100 g Elephant yam Chena
1 nos Banana (ethakka)
2 nos Jaggery sarkkara
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp Cummin seeds
1 tsp Chilly powder
1 nos Coconut
Salt, to taste
2 tbsp Coconut oil

Preparation

Step 1
First cut the vegetables into small pieces.
Step 2
Cook the dal and add the vegetables, turmeric powder, chilly powder and sarkkara. Cook again.
Step 3
Grind the 1/2 of the coconut and cumin seeds. Make a fine thick paste.
Step 4
Add this paste into the vegetables and allow it to boil. Cook till dry.
Step 5
Fry the another half of grated coconut till dark brown.
