Including fiber in our daily meals is a must! Bottle gourd is a good source of fiber. Also, it is good for diabetic patients. We use moong dhal to make this kootu, which again has high fiber, low fat and high protein. We will see how to make this recipe.
Serves : 3
Ingredients:
Bottle gourd - 1
Moong dhal - 1/4 cup
Salt - as needed
Sambar powder - 3/4 sp
To grind:
Coconut - 2 sp
Cumin seeds - 1/2 sp
Roasted gram - 1/2 sp
Seasoning:
Oil
Mustard
Urad dhal
Red chilli - 1
Hing
Curry leaves
Method:
Wash and peel skin of bottle gourd (can be used to make thogayal). Scoop the seeds out and cut into small cubes.
Pressure cook moong dhal, bottle gourd, salt, sambar powder with needed water for 3 whistles.
Grind coconut, cumin seeds and roasted gram into a smooth paste. Add this to cooked bottle gourd once pressure is released. Mix well on medium flame.
Take another pan, heat oil and add mustard. Once it splutters, add urad dhal, red chilli, hing and curry leaves. Pour it to the kootu and serve with pepper rasam/ kara kuzhambu. Tastes yummy!!
