This one is for Sweatha from Tasty Curry Leaf who is hosting Zlamushka's Tried and Tested event this month. I was in a tizzy after going through Suganya's blog - Tasty Palettes. Everything looks so delicious that I found myself in a fix and who but my son fixed it!
One look at her varuthu araitha kootu and he said, "Mama, make this one please!"
I did not deviate except for adding some cooked chana dal because though I reduced the amount of red chillies I still found the kootu a little spicy, so I had to balance it somehow. This kootu turned out very tasty. When I read the recipe I felt it should taste somewhat like 'poricha kootu' but it did not, and we all loved it.
The picture doesn't do justice to the dish so please don't go by this one! What could I do? The family is singing for its supper and I promised just one click!

I love kootu.. this is totally different than i make ..lemme try it next time
ReplyDeleteLove the bowl, I remember in Indian weddings they serve desserts in those. Great dish to try! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a new recipe for me. Gotta try it this way. I too love Suganya's blog. Her pics are soo drool worthy
ReplyDeleteit looks yummy
ReplyDeletelooks yummy :) and yeah... even I thought it would taste like poricha kootu after looking at the ingredients :)
ReplyDeletearen't those donnais lovely! every time i come to india..i promise to buy some to bring em with me...but shopping and clothes take over and i postpone it to the next time!!
ReplyDeleteYou too got thonnai :). I am sorry it turned out spicy. I guess its the variety red chillies that we used. My kootu turned out to be very mellow and my spice level is below normal these days. Thanks for trying, Harini.
ReplyDeleteI make poricha kootu i imagine the taste of this one too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks all!I bought so many donnais when I saw them the other day. They remind me of the prasadam we get at temples:)
ReplyDeleteSuganya, I think it is my chillies that are very pungent I still haven't got a hang of the variety I picked up this time!
Hearty Thanks for the entry dearie.Wholesome dish and love the pic you have clicked.
ReplyDeleteI also tried this from Sug's blog! :)
ReplyDeleteEven I felt it would be similar to poricha kootu. Now after ur verdict, I am going to give it a try.
