Avarakkai Kootu / Molagootal Recipe
Back to back from Amma's Belgium kitchen. Kootu as in Mulagotal (Palghat style) is one more thing i miss after wedding..i can never make those recipes to amma's perfection and so took good advantage of the week i was in Belgium to have as much Keralan delights as i could. Avaraikai is Indian broad beans that usually dont find newhere from Indian stores, but fortunately i find it everywhere in Europe. Here's an easy broad beans kutu from my mom's kitchen...
