Carrot Kootu Recipe – South Indian Kootu Varieties

carrot kootu
Whenever I have lots of carrot, I make carrot beans poriyal, carrot halwa or carrot sambar for idli. I don’t try carrot poriyal or carrot kootu as Sendhil doesn’t like the sweet taste of carrot dominating in poriyal or kootu. So this time I made small changes in the recipe. I added more moong dal/Paruppu and coconut masala to suppress its sweet taste. It turned out really well as I wished. Its tasted like my mixed veg kootu / Aviyal. Sendhil loved it very much. I made this kootu as a side dish for Sundakkai vatha kuzhambu. It was a nice combo.Raksha loved it too. Most of the kids love carrot. So you can try it for your kids as this kootu recipe  is healthy and mildly spiced. Lets see how to make this easy, yummy, one pot South Indian Kootu recipe – Carrot kootu !!
