When none of the gravy strikes my mind for my lunch, will prepare this kootu which will do dual role as Main Course as well as Sidedish. Yes, for hot steamed rice this will be a gravy and for Rasam or curd rice, this will be a sidedish. What a great (mokkai)idea know :P Atleast weekly once this type of kootu will be my main course. Even though it consume hardly 15 mins for preparation, it is one of the healthiest recipe which will be throughly enjoyed from Toddlers to Old age. Mostly i'll prepare Kottu using Bengal Gram or Toor Dhall or Moong Dhall. Not tried using dual dhall at a time. But one day am running out of Bengal Gram, so without any option, tried of adding Moong Dhall to compensate the Bengal gram shortage. Hmm... Its became my one of the tastiest recipe and as i added Moong dhall which looks same as a Dhall Masiyal. I think, this is my "Shortage/Running Out Of" recipe vaaaaaaarrrraaaaammmmmmmmmm (Even my previous post comes under same kinda)
