Kootanchoru recipe – Rice recipe – Lunch box recipe – Vegan one pot meal

Kootanchoru – When I was a small kid we used to play with other kids in our street. every one of us brings one thing from each of our houses and we put together to make kootanchoru. Kootanchoru means a mix of everything together. It is simple but very tasty. It has been a while since I made this. I had some vegetables left in the fridge so I wanted to finish it up. The addition of raw mango enhances the flavor. I didn’t add as my sons don’t like it
