About Koottukari

Koottukari is a traditional Kerala dish from South Indian cuisine, featuring a wholesome blend of vegetables like plantains, yam, and ash gourd cooked with black chickpeas and coated in a mildly spiced coconut gravy. Often part of festive Sadya meals, this dish is both flavorful and nutrient-rich. The use of chickpeas brings protein, fiber, and essential minerals, while the vegetables are a good source of vitamins and antioxidants. The inclusion of freshly grated coconut offers healthy fats, though moderation is advised for those managing fat intake. Typically seasoned with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried chilies tempered in coconut oil, Koottukari carries the aromatic essence of Kerala. While it is a nutritious choice due to its minimally processed ingredients, its calorie content might increase depending on oil usage. Overall, Koottukari is a balanced and hearty dish that supports a plant-based diet.
