About Spinach kootu
Spinach Kootu is a wholesome South Indian dish that blends nutritious spinach with lentils, coconut, and an aromatic mix of spices. Typically made using moong dal or toor dal, spinach is cooked to a tender consistency and enriched with a paste of fresh coconut, cumin, and green chilies. The dish is seasoned with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried red chilies for a fragrant final touch. Packed with dietary fiber, iron, and essential vitamins, Spinach Kootu is a heart-healthy addition to any meal. Lentils contribute protein and slow-digesting carbohydrates, making it a great option for sustained energy release. While the recipe is generally light and nutrient-rich, moderation with added coconut can help manage saturated fat intake. Traditionally served alongside steamed rice or Indian flatbreads, Spinach Kootu exemplifies the balance of flavor and nutrition characteristic of South Indian vegetarian cuisine.
