Kootu is my favorite side, I love to have it all 7 days in a week. This simple kootu is so flavorful, authentically made thick and served as a side for rice and any tangy spicy curry like Pavakkai Puli Kuzhambhu. Masoor Dal is similar to moong dal but varies in its taste, does not require soaking and can be cooked in a flash. Hope your friday is good, mine went busy... Happy Weekend All!!!
