About Potato kootu
Potato Kootu is a flavorful South Indian dish made with boiled potatoes, split yellow moong dal (lentils), grated coconut, and a fragrant mix of spices like cumin, turmeric, and chili. Often enriched with curry leaves and mustard seeds, this comfort food embodies the essence of Tamil Nadu cuisine. Traditionally served as a side dish alongside rice or flatbreads, its preparation involves minimal oil and relies heavily on wholesome ingredients. The lentils provide a good source of protein and dietary fiber while the potatoes offer potassium and energy-boosting carbohydrates. Coconut adds healthy fats and a creamy texture, though moderation is key for those watching calorie intake. Low in oil and high in plant-based nutrients, Potato Kootu can be part of a balanced meal, though those seeking a lighter option may consider reducing the coconut or portion size.
