Cook bengal gram in a pressure cooker and keep it aside. Heat oil in a pan, crackle mustard + urad dal, curry leaves and add sliced onion, saute until it is cooked.
Add chopped tomato and stir until the tomato is cooked. Add chopped snake gourd, turmeric powder, salt and a cup of water and cook the vegetables.
Make a paste of coconut, cumin, green chillies and add it to the boiling curry. Add cooked bengal gram to the curry and mix well.
Cook for another 5 minutes on low heat until everything is well incorporated.
Garnish with Curry leaves and coriander leaves and serve with rice or chappathi.
Serve the kootu with white rice and appalam or pappadam. It is good to eat with rasam.
The spicy, tangy rasam actually adds a lot of taste to the kootu which is other wise slightly bland.
