Parangikkai Kootu

Parangikai Kootu is a very simple quick and tasty kootu. This can be done in less than 15 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients
Parangikkai / Yellow Pumpkin – 3 cups (cubed 1 inch pieces)
Turmeric – ½ tea spoon
Asafetida – ¼ tea spoon
Salt – 1 tea spoon
Coconut – ½ cup
Black Pepper (whole) – 2 table spoons
Tuvaram Parupu / Toor Dal – 2 table spoons
Oil – 1 tea spoon
Coconut Oil – ½ tea spoon (optional)
Mustard Seeds – ½ tea spoon
Ulutham Parupu – 1 tea spoon
Curry Leaves – 4

Method
Boil the parangikkai with turmeric until done but can hold its shape. Do not cook in pressure cooker.
Heat ½ tea spoon oil and sauté the tuvaram parupu on medium heat. Keep a close eye as tuvaram parupu will get brown fast. When the color starts to change, add black pepper and sauté for 15 seconds and remove from heat and grind with coconut when cool. Grind without adding water and then add 3 table spoon of water and grind it to a coarse paste
Heat a pan and add ½ tea spoon oil and when hot, add ulutham parupu and when the ulutham parupu starts to turn golden, add the curry leaves and add the boiled parangikkai
Now add the grinded mixture, salt and asafetida and allow it to come to a boil
Remove from heat and add coconut oil and the parangikkai kootu is ready to be served!
