Thanks for sharing Mam.
hello, lovely site! I wanted to try the cucumber kootu. Is green gram dhall in Tamil pasi parupu … As in the yellow colour lentil used for pongal?
Or is it the green colour dhall, which normally requires couple of hours soaking?
Pls clarify. Thank you.
Regards
Sudha
Hi Sudha,
Green gram dhal is “pasi paruppu” only (yellow colour dhal used for pongal).
Dear Kamala madam,
Tried your cabbage green peas kootu. I customised the spice level. It came out good.
Thank you very much
