Spinach Kootu/ பசலைகீரை கூட்டு

This Spinach Kootu recipe is very easy to make and very healthy too. Any variety of kootu is loved by all of us at home.

It is very to prepare and I used moong dal that is also very good for health. Very less oil used to make this kootu.

This goes very well with steamed white rice, idli, dosa, chanpatti and bread.
