Carrot Kootu Recipe

Carrot Kootu Recipe is from amma, I love carrot kootu even when I was reluctant in touching veggies.Now mittu takes after me, she loves to have this with rice and ghee.Today I made this carrot kootu after such a long time so thought to blog it as well, I also planned a lunchbox menu with this for this weekend post 🙂 You can feed this kootu even for babies who are starting solid foods, just skip coconut part and proceed.

My Notes:

  • Add the coconut paste only after the veggie is cooked.
  • The curry will thicken with time so switch it off accordingly.
  • You can also replace toor dhal with chana dal too.But adding a combination of dal gives nice flavour to the kootu.
