I never thought of combining methi leaves,raw mango and channadal together for making gravies or curries..You know some ongoing events in this wonderful blogsphere will pull us beyond our limits to come up with an elegant dish and this kootu was one among those creations..This kootu goes to Harini' Design A Menu, an interesting event where you have to decide a menu with the list of ingredients given by Harini..I have happily planned a menu last time very soon once she announced this event, but this time i have to break my head to design a menu with the ingredients given by her...Yesterday i tried out this kootu with methi leaves, raw mango and channa dal and the kootu turned out simply fabulous,serve it with some crispy potato fries or any spicy side dish for our lunch, you will have a wonderful lunch..Even i served this kootu with hot steaming idlis for our dinner and both together turned out our dinner super filling and delicious...
Am happy to design my menu with the veggies and ingredients given by Harini, here comes my menu..
Appetiziers: Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Main course: Methi,mango & channadal Kootu, Sweet potato & Methi Stir-Fry
Dessert: Baked Strawberry Wholewheat Pancakes
