Tomato Kootu

Hi frnz..I m here with a very simple Kootu this tym..Though I name it as Kootu, it doesn't use Dal in the recipe..I have had it many times in vegetarian hotels n Hindu wedding ceremonies..I have always been a banana leaf meal lover with lots of different side dishes with veggies..And this Kootu uses no other veggies at all, but only Tomato as the main ingredient..And I love it too..Had tried it before too but never posted in the blog n channel..So, now I m posting it..Come on let's make it..

Snakegourd Milakoottal

Snakegourd Milakoottal(புடலங்காய் மிளகூட்டல்)..A delicious side dish for rice, made with snakegourd, dal, pepper and much more..Milakoottal is something similar to paruppu koottu, but here, as the name says, milagu(மிளகு/pepper) is added which gives a nice flavour and taste to the dish..Try this with some hot rice, and jus pappad and pickle, n u won't need any other side dish..It can be mixed with rice as a semigravy, or else be had as a side dish too, it's ur choice..Well, let's move on to the rcp..

Yellow Pumpkin Dal Kootu

Yellow Pumpkin Dal Kootu(பறங்கிக்காய் பருப்பு கூட்டு)..I hav never tasted pumpkin in my home since my childhood, except in restaurants..But knowing its health benefits, I hav been including in the form of purees and juices for my kid..Eager to feel its taste, I cooked it for the first tym with Dal and our basic thoran masala..Wow..Now pumpkin too has been included in my favourite veggies list..😋
