Poosanikai mor kootu | White pumpkin kootu | Poosanikai pachadi with step by step pictures and video recipe. Check out the Poosanikai mor kootu video and If you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel

Poosanikai mor kootu | White pumpkin kootu | Poosanikai pachadi is a tasty South Indian style kootu recipe. Unlike other kootu recipes no dal required for this tasty poosanikai kootu. Kootu is a traditional South Indian rice accompaniment mostly made as a side dish for vathal kuzhambu varieties, rasam varieties, or podi Sadam or Adai.

What is special about Poosanikai kootu?

Poosanikai mor kootu is super easy to make. It can be done in less than 20 minutes. The best part of the recipe is it is prepared with minimal ingredients. If you use vegan yogurt it can be turned into a vegan dish.

Should I only use pumpkin for this mor kootu recipe?

Mor kootu is a type of south Indian kootu variety which is prepared by adding curd (buttermilk). Today I have used white pumpkin but any vegetables can be used instead. Vegetable cooking time and technique may vary according to the vegetable.

What is the preferred curd texture for Poosanikai more kootu?

It is totally up to individual taste. Some prefer little sour curd for sure but I generally use fresh curd without any sourness.

Other curd based dishes TMF,

Mor kuzhambu

Paruppu urundai mor kuzhambu

Mango pulissery

Iru puli kuzhambu

Kathirikai pachadi

Restaurant-style curd rice

Can I use dal for Poosanikai mor kootu?

Like Aviyal we don’t add any dal for poosanikai more kootu but for Vazhaithandu Mor kootu we generally add dal. Adding dal to Mor kootu is optional but if desired you can add. I would recommend Channa dal/toor Dal for poosanikai and moong dal for chayote, Vazhaithandu, etc.

    Hi Vidya,

    This recipe looks amazing. If one lives in the U.S. and can’t find white pumpkin, what vegetable could I use instead? Thanks!
