About Pudalangai kootu

Pudalangai Kootu is a wholesome South Indian dish featuring snake gourd (pudalangai) cooked with moong dal (split green gram), coconut, and aromatic spices. Hailing from traditional Tamil cuisine, it is typically prepared as a mild curry, enriched with a tempered blend of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and red chilies. This dish is packed with nutritional benefits, as snake gourd is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals that support digestion and hydration. Moong dal adds plant-based protein and essential nutrients like iron and potassium, while the fresh coconut provides healthy fats in moderation. Pudalangai Kootu is low in calories and an excellent choice for balancing a meal, especially when paired with steamed rice or chapati. While the dish is generally healthy, the addition of coconut can slightly increase its fat content, so portion control is ideal for those monitoring fat intake.
