Restaurant Style Pudalangaai Thengai Paal Kootu Recipe

December 23, 2012 By Sangeetha Priya 10 Comments

 

I rarely make kootu but when my MIL stays with us she makes it often. I learned this restaurant style pudalangaai thengai paal kootu recipe from
her which tastes too good and you can definitely get the restaurant taste. Usually I prepare with Moong dhal and occasionally with chana dhal but today I preferred Chana dhal, both are equally good in taste.
Try this easy and healthy coconut milk/paal kootu, I am sure you will like it.

Ingredients

Bengal Gram/Chana Dhal/Split Moong Dhal – 3/4th Cup
Snake Gourd/Podalangaai or Cabbage – 3/4 th Cup
Turmeric Powder – 1/2tsp
Red Chilli Powder – 1tsp
Coriander Powder – 1tsp
Salt and Water – As Needed

To Grind

Shredded Coconut – 1/2 Cup
Cumin Seeds – 1 Tbsp
Roasted Gram/Dalia/Pottukadalai – 1 Tbsp
Cooked Chana Dhal – 2 Tbsp
Green Chili – 2-3 Numbers
Curry Leaves – Few

For tempering
Mustard Seeds – 1tsp
Curry Leaves – 1 Sprig
Chopped Shallot/Onion – 1/2 Cup (Optional)
Hing/Asofetida –   A generous pinch

Method

  • Soak Chana dhal for 30mins to evenly cook with the chopped veggie(Pic 1).
  • Cook the dhal with chopped snake gourd n all powders for 2 whistles Pic 2 (see note 1).
  • Grind the raw ingredients given under to grind (Pic 3).
  • Heat 1 Tbsp oil temper with mustard seeds followed by onion, curry leaves n hing.
  • Add the ground paste, boiled dhal mixture, check salt and bring to boil (Pic 4).
  • When the gravy gets thick put off the stove.
  • Serve with Hot Rice, Ghee, Poriyal/Curry n Papad. Goes well with yogurt too.

Note:

  1. If you like to have the dhal mushy allow one more whistle or grind few cooked dhal along with coconut mixture.
