Chow Chow Kootu Recipe

I visited my mother in law’s place for a short trip last month. I had this kootu for lunch and the paruppu used in it was very tasty and different. When i asked about it they told me it is Red thatai payir (Red cow pea) and they break it using Thiruvai.. Taste was so amazing. I asked her to make some dal for me. As usual my mum packed some home grown vegetable too. So I made chow chow kootu (all ingredients from India and home grown. It is fully organic) Loved the taste
