    7 Kari kootu | Thiruvathirai Kootu | Thalagam | Ezhu Kari Kootu | Pongal Kootu | vegetable kootu | Dal stew | Thiruvathirai kuzhambu | Thiruvathirai Kuzhambu  is a mixed vegetable kootu specially prepared as a side dish for Thiruvathirai kali. Kootu recipe is a tasty side that goes well with any rasam variety

    What kind of vegetables to use for 7 Kari kootu?

    Usually, 7 kari kootu is prepared with root vegetables, broad beans, mochai. I have made a version with a available ingredients. You can use any vegetables of your choice. Avoid vegetables like cabbage, spinach. Though the name of the dish is 7 kari ( mixed veegtables) kootu any number of vegetables of your choice can be used.

    Should I add jaggery to the 7 kari kootu | Ezhukari kootu?

    Jaggery is optional, since we eat this with Thiruvathirai kali in our home we prefer kootu with a touch of sweetness. You can skip according to your taste. Sugar can also be used instead of jaggery.

    Can I use moong dal for 7 kari kootu?

    Traditionally toor dal is used for 7 Kari kootu. You can add Moong dal according to your preference.

    Should I cook vegetables separately for 7 Kari kootu?

    Cooking vegetables in a pressure cooker saves time so I prefer cooking it this way. If preferred you can cook vegetables in the pan.

    Notes

    1. You can also cook vegetable in tamarind water but pressure cooking vegetables makes the process quick
    2. Always cook the vegetables in cooker separator to avoid them from turning mushy
    3. Any vegetables of your choice/availability can be used
    4. Kootu thickens overtime so cook accordingly
    5. Adjust jaggery according to your taste
