Serve it with kali or plain white rice.

 Thiruvathirai Adai,Kali and Kootu Recipe

My Notes:

  • While peeling off the skin of plantain, grease your hands with oil to avoid stickiness.
  • After cutting the veggie keep it immersed in water to avoid it from changing its color.
  • Each vegetable may take different time to get cooked so cook them accordingly. I first added the veggies that takes time to cook and after few mins added the other veggies that gets cooked easily……I pressure cooked mochai alone separately and added.
  • You can pressure cook the veggie too if you are confident about the cooking time.
  • It is a must to use only country vegetables for this kootu. I used the veggies which I had in hand.
  • If you get sakkara valli kilangu(sweet potato) then add it , gives a great taste and mild sweetness to the curry.
  • You can also add dried beans instead of fresh beans.You can add avarakkai(Broad Beans)
  • Adjust spice level according to your preference.
  • The kuzhambu should be more of slightly thick but pouring consistency.
  • This kootu is specially served with kali but you can accompany it with white rice,pongal varieties too.
