    Pongal kootu

    Pongal kootu is not the traditional one which we make at home. In my place on pongal we make normal raw rice pongal, sweet sarkarai pongal, sambar, papadum and coconut thogayal. But i have been seeing this curry in many blog, so i decided to give it a try. And i made it today for pongal and enjoyed it with raw rice pongal.

    I used a mix of veggies which i had on hand, you can use whatever veggies you like. You can add mochai as well in this. I used the veggies which i love and it includes many hard veggies like potatoes, pumpkin, sweet potatoes and yam, and some soft veggies like white pumpkin and snake gourd. I loved this combo..
