Mixed Veg Kootu Recipe / Kadhamba Kootu with step by step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please share it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel. This kootu is made with a medley of vegetables and the Tamil word Kadhamba Kootu here refers to the ‘Assortment’ which literally means a variety of veggies, cooked in a coconut-based gravy and finally seasoned. I have used a mixture of both the country and English veggies, but you can go ahead with the availability or use seasonal veggies. Furthermore, I have given a list of some legumes/pulses which can be added to this kootu (refer tips section) and it is more or less similar to the 7 Kari Kootu, specially prepared on the day of Pongal/Sankranti. As so many veggies are used in a single dish, this kootu is packed with nutrition and sure a colourful treat to the eyes and tummy. It goes well with Khara Pongal, Sakarrai Pongal, Sambar Sadham etc.

Notes

Tips for Kadhamba Kootu Recipe

1. I used a mixture of both country and English vegetables, use little quantity in each veggie, as it yields a lot after cooking.
2. Other country veggies like yam, cluster beans, chayote, snake gourd, ash gourd, bitter gourd, pumpkin, raw banana etc can also be used.
3. Also legumes and pulses like red beans, bengal gram, brown peas, chick peas,cow peas, moong beans, peanuts, field beans etc can also be used.
4. If using legumes or pulses, soak and cook separately and then add to the Kadhamba Kootu Recipe.
5. If you need the dish a bit sweeter, add sweet potato and pumpkin little extra.
6. Also chop all the veggies in equal size, for even cooking.
7. Cook the veggies till soft but not mushy, it should retain the shape.
8. Pour the tamarind juice, only after the veggies get cooked. If you add it before, the veggies will never get cooked.
9. Toor dal can be replaced with moong dal. Addition of dal gives thickness to the curry, but you can skip it too.
10. Tempering, at last, helps to retain the aroma for a long time. Use sesame oil or ghee or coconut oil for tempering which lends a nice aroma.
11. This Mixed Veg Kootu Recipe taste too good on the next day. Also, it stays good for 2 to 3 days under refrigeration.
