Whitepumpkin and GreenGram Kootu
A Traditional Tamil lunch usually has a Kootu (கூட்டு) and a Porial (பொறியல் ) as side dishes.
Kootu usually has a vegetable and a Dal simmered together. This particular recipe uses green gram instead of dal and it also uses coconut.
Nagarathar's were renowned traders. They had businesses in South East Asia including Burma, Malaysia and Singapore. The use of coconut and exotic spices in Chettinad cuisine is due to the Burmese influence.
