Expert Tips
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.
