Kootu Curry Recipe / Kootu Curry Kerala Style is specially prepared on the day of Vishu or with Onam Sadya feast. I have prepared this curry with Raw Banana (Kaya in Malayalam) and Yam (Chena) but it can be done with other veggies like Ash gourd, Pumpkin, carrot, snake gourd too. Also, in some parts of Kerala, Bengal Gram(chana dal) is used, instead of Black Chana, but you can alter the ingredients as per your wish. But I can bet, raw banana, yam and black chana combo compliment a lot. It is had with rice, Kerala Sambar or Ulli Theeyal, along with Beans Mezhukupuratti and Kerala Nendran Chips. Finally, I have shared this Kootukari Recipe with step by step pics and a short YouTube video too. If you like the video, please Like it, Share it and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel.

Notes

Tips for Kootu Curry Recipe

  1. I used yam and raw banana, while you can try it with other veggies like ash gourd, carrot, pumpkin, snake gourd also.
  2. Use aged / old yam, otherwise, there will be an itching sensation in the tongue when eating.
  3. Black chana can be replaced with Chana Dal / Bengal Gram too for this Kootu Curry Recipe.
  4. Adjust green chilli, peppercorns and chilli powder as per spice level required for this Kootukari Recipe.
  5. Always cook the raw banana and yam till soft only, not mushy.
  6. Traditionally coconut oil is used for making this Kootu Curry Kerala Style, which lends an extraordinary aroma to the dish.
  7. Furthermore, tempering at last, helps to retain the flavour for a long time.
  8. Even 1 tsp of jaggery powder can be added at last, which enhances the taste of the curry, but it's optional only.
  9. Never miss adding roasted coconut finally, which is the main highlight of this curry.
