Molakootal/Porichakootu is originally a typical kerala iyer dish which is very simple and is a delight to your taste buds.We mostly prefer molakootal during sundays at home and will love it.
This dish can be made with most of the vegetables.
U can name like white pumpkin(alone )or with potato,chayote squash or chow chow,along with vegetables like carrot and long string beans(payar)not much in lil amounts and with cabbage.
Spinach or keerai(green) which is an all time favourite for my better half.
The basic procedure is very simple and there are two varients in it which i came to know recently after marriage because my inlaws side they prepare in different way.
Ingredients
Vegetables(of ur choice)-boiled 1 cup(i have used chayote squash here)
Toor dhal-1/2cup
Coconut-1/4cup
Dry red chillies-5 nos or less (acc to your spice)
Jeera-3tbsp
Urud dhal-1tsp
mustard-1 tbsp

Method
Variant 1
