Heres the recipe for spicy koottu curry thats usually served in marriage feasts in our place. Koottu curry is a combination of vegetables and chick
peas, and is usually a semi-dry preparation. The vegetables commonly used for making koottu curry are raw banana, chena/ elephant yam and
winter melon. There are two versions of koottu curry sweet and spicy. We have already posted the recipe for the sweet version of koottu curry
which is served in the Northern part of Kerala. Hope you enjoy this recipe!

Method
1. Cook the raw banana and yam cubes along with turmeric powder, chilly powder, green chilies, curry leaves, enough water and salt. Cook until
they are done (you can pressure-cook for 1 whistle adding around 3/4 cup water) and the water almost evaporates completely. Open the lid and
mash the veggies slightly. Add garam masala powder, cumin powder and the cooked kadala and vanpayar. Mix well. Meanwhile roast the coconut

Check for salt. Add 1/2 tsp jaggery/sugar and mix well. Cook for 1 minute at low heat.
2. In a small pan, heat coconut oil and splutter mustards. Fry dry red chilies and curry leaves. Pour over the koottu curry. Serve hot with rice.
