You can even prepare pudulangai paruppu usili, poritha kootu, ordinary kootu.

For ordinary kootu, cook the veggies with a handful of channa dal; grind coconut 2 tbsp, red chillies 2 & jeera 2 tsp. Season in oil with mustard, urad dal, hing & curry leaves. Mix all of them, boil. If necessary, add 1 tbsp of rice flour.

............................

For poritha kootu, fry 2 tsp of urad dal, 1 tsp of pepper, 1 tbsp of dhania, 2 nos. of red chillies and grind with 1 tbsp of coconut and a tsp of jeera.

cook the veggie with a handful of moong dal and mix the above mixture. Do seasoning with mustard, urad dal & curry leaves in oil.

You can prepare the above like kuzhambu or kootu(thick or thin).

...............................

Another variation of poritha kootu is to avoid red chillies and coconut completely. Increase dal qty. Proceed with the rest.
