All the 3 kootus look delicious and ready to eat..I didn't know cauliflower could be used for kootu as I always thought it was meant for North Indian sabzi..Will try it..As for kootu , they are very tasty, simple and rich in vitamins...I grew up eating them..How I wish our children take a liking to it... wishful thinking..my son runs away at the sight of kootu..I invariably end up eating his portion too..Its indeed a great accompaniment to vetha kuyambu and jeera rasam..Thank you mami for showing authentic dishes of South India...

As i wrote the vegetables Kooty and the Chow kooky sounds very tasty and not not too difficult to make, so I will for sure first try the vegetable Kooty.

Hello mam. You are a treasure trove of knowledge . For traditional south indian home-made recipes you are the only person I refer to because the recipies are authentic and with the correct proportion. I never go wrong with my cooking when I follow your recipies. But another reason I refer to you is because you are clear with your instructions and you communicate with a calm and pleasing demeanour. No unnecessary diagressions too. Love your smile and simplicity. Thanks for keeping our tradition alive and sharing it with the next generation... God bless you with good health...
