Cluster beans and Carrot gravy (Kothavarangai and carrot kootu) - Preparation time 15 mins
To avoid the slight bitter taste of kothavarangai i tried adding carrot and prepared the kootu. The kootu tasted good. I prepared this when mom and dad visited my home. They liked this kootu very much.
Ingredients:-
Kothavarangai - 1 cup (chopped to small pieces)
Carrot - 1 small size (Skin peeled and chopped to small pieces)
Turmeric - ¼ tsp
Sambar powder - 3/4 tsp
Salt - to taste
Water - 1 or 1 ½ cup water (till the greens get immersed)
Thalikkum vadagam - 1
Pepper corn, cumin seed - 1 tsp {Grind this with coconut and make a paste}
Toor dhal (Thuvaram paruppu) - one cup (pressure cooked).
Grated coconut - 3 tbsp (optional)
Sesame oil - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 6 (finely chopped)
Preparation method:-
Boil water with turmeric, salt & sambar powder. When water boils add kothavarankai and carrot to cook.
Add cooked dhal to cooked vegetable and boil. When the gravy starts boiling add the ground paste of coconut, cumin and pepper. Switch of the flame
In a tawa add thalikum vadagam (which is made of jeera, urad dhal, onion, mustard, castor oil, etc) to splutter. It you don't have thalikum vadagam you can roast mustard, urad dhal, cumin seed and curry leaves with little oil for garnishing
Finally curry leaves. Kootu and 1/4 tsp of ghee can be mixed with rice and taken along with some deep fried pappad. It will be very tasty. Sorry forgot to take pics will add later :-).
