Kootu curry. A delicious no onion garlic thick curry made with black chickpea or kala chana, raw banana or plantains and coconut. A special tempering with coconut made this curry absolutely flavorful and delectable. You can also use yam, pumpkin ash gourd etc in the curry with raw banana.

This kootu curry is one of the most famous dishes of Onam Sadhya Feast. You can also use Bengal gram or chana dal in this curry instead of black chickpea.

For kootu curry we have to boil the black chickpea in pressure cooker. Separate the water from boiled chickpeas. Boil peeled and chopped raw banana or plantains with this boiled chickpea water, salt, turmeric powder and red chilli powder. Usually yam is used with raw banana but I made it with only raw banana. You can use pumpkin, yam, ashgourd etc with banana. Make a paste of coconut, cumin seeds and black peppercorn and mix in the curry with jaggery.

For tempering use mustard seeds, dry red chilli and grated coconut. I have used 1/3 cup grated coconut. You can use 1/2 cup coconut if you want. Fried coconut will give a wonderful flavour to your curry.

Sharing this recipe for Facebook gourmet group Shhhhh Cooking Secretly Challenge. This month theme is Sadhya suggested by Priya Vijaykrishnan. My partner Renu Agrawal Dongre gave me turmeric and black pepper as secret ingredients. I made this delicious kootu curry with these ingredients. I gave her coconut oil and green chilli. Renu shared Bitter gourd pachadi for the theme.

Recipe Developer Behind The Blog

Hello there!

I am Sujata Roy. A homemaker, a blogger, a passionate cook, a recipe developer, a home baker, and lastly a foodie.

Experimenting in the kitchen is what I love and enjoy doing the most. Specially experimenting with vegetarian dishes and egg-less cakes and cookies is what interests me more.

My loved ones are fond of vegetarian cuisines, so I have them in my mind whenever I dish out a new recipe.

However, I do not limit my experimental cooking to vegetarian recipes only, non-vegetarian recipe ideas are also dished out. And you can also get many healthy recipes in this blog, including different types of baking ideas with healthy ingredients. So enjoy healthy foods without compromising on taste.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy Cooking!
