I had recently poricha kootu when i went to my friend's place for lunch, i got hooked to this delicious dhal curry spiced with coconut, cumin seeds and green chillies which pushed me to try out once i came back to home, i tried out with carrots and baby bokchoy leaves which suits prefectly to make this simple but yet delicious kootu...Carrot and bokchoy leaves together made this kootu more delicious and we loved having it for lunch also for dinner with chappathis..This poricha kootu recipe is definitely a keeper for me, to come up with different veggies..With papads and potato roast this poricha kootu will tastes definitely a divine... This healthy and colourful kootu goes to  Sanghi's FIL-Carrots n also to Sowmya's SWC-Cooking with Greens...
