KOOTANCHORU RECIPE  is a healthy and authentic one pot dish, very popular in Tirunelveli which is located in southern part of India. Kootanchoru is very nutritious rice and a flavorful mix of all veggies, rice, dal and spices. It is also referred to as ” kadamba sadham”. Though it looks like sambar sadham and bisibelabath, the procedure and the taste are entirely different. This Tirunelveli special kootanchoru is my mother in law signature dish. She always used to make this kootanchoru for Ammavasai (ie. new moon day) every month. She makes it very tasty with awesome flavors, having it with raitha and pickle it will be more delicious. Try this south Indian traditional dish for weekend lunch, you will love it.

Notes

You can add any vegetables of your choice.
Be careful with the amount of water you add to cook the rice and dal as excess water with make the dish very mushy.
If you have raw mango, add that too and reduce the amount of tamarind juice since both are sour in taste.
Adding a handful of greens gives a nice taste.
If your rice turns too sour, add little more chilli powder and cook it for somemore time.
Serve it with vadai, pickle, raitha and papad or vadagam or mormilagai
