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.
