Notes

  • You can store leftover gotsu powder in an airtight container. it stays fresh for 1 month
  • Yellow pumpkin compliments Kalyana gothsu flavor. You can add potato, sweet potato, drumsticks, turnip, etc.
  • Green chilli gives amazing flavor to the Kalyana gothsu so don't skip it
  • Cooking tamarind along with vegetables is optional but it helps for faster cooking
  • Avoid cooking dal and vegetables together. dal might not cook well
  • Tomatoes  gives amazing flavor to the gotsu so avoid adding less
