VEGETABLE MOLAGOOTAL
One of the easiest VEGAN Meal to cook is Molagootal { still sumptuous }, and you will leave your family finger licking. Molagootal is often served with a lot of side dishes like Puli Inji , Thenga Podi { spiced coconut powder }, Lemon Pickle, Chips Vendakkai Thaiyr Pachadi ( Okra Pachadi ) Together they make lunch times really special and sumptuous.
This mixed vegetable curry is authentic and really simple to make but you just need to be careful with the choice of vegetables that goes in it. White Pumpkin, Chayote, Yellow Pumpkin, Carrots, Yam, Potato, Green peas, Drumsticks are some of the vegetables that can be used for making this comforting curry. Yeah, And since we are talking about authenticity of Palakkad Cuisine, garnish has just got to have Curry Leaves, Mustard Seeds, Urad Dal ( black gram dal ) & red chillies. You may choose to leave them out, if some of them or all of them are not available but I will just not recommend using alternative herbs like coriander leaves, mint leaves etc just to spruce up some color element.
TIPS & SUGGESTIONS TO MAKE AUTHENTIC MOLAGOOTAL
VEGETABLES - Choose your vegetables carefully as the combination of vegetables makes this molagootal special. DO NOT USE DESICCATED COCONUT- Our traditional cuisine always calls for fresh coconut { as it has always been abundantly available } and the flavors are just so good. DO NOT USE CORIANDER LEAVES or Mint leaves in this recipe. The authentic molagootal calls only for curry leaves.
