About Kootanchoru

Kootanchoru is a traditional South Indian one-pot meal, particularly popular in Tamil Nadu. It is made by cooking rice, lentils, mixed vegetables, tamarind, and a blend of aromatic spices, often enhanced with coconut or sesame oil. Packed with wholesome ingredients, Kootanchoru is a balanced dish offering carbohydrates, protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals. The inclusion of lentils and vegetables boosts its nutritional profile, providing plant-based protein and antioxidants, while tamarind adds a tangy flavor along with natural digestive benefits. Typically low in fat, the dish is both nourishing and satisfying. However, the sodium content can vary depending on the recipe, so moderation with salt or condiments is recommended. Kootanchoru showcases the essence of South Indian home cooking, combining simplicity with nutrient richness to create a wholesome and flavorful meal.
