Kootu is a semi gravy served for lunch with the addition of lentils; generally moong dal. In this case however, we use tur dal.
Chettinad kootu recipes are very light and different from other kootu recipes in Tamil Nadu. One major difference is that there is no addition of ground masala. Another is that the seasoning is kind of optional. More often curry leaves and jeera are added with coconut and ghee after thd veggies are cooked. And in this recipe the dal is cooked al dente and simmered with vegetables and spices.
