#Drumstick and #Katharikkai combination is one of the best combinations for preparing tasty sambar and also koottu. We have already seen the preparation of sambar with this combo.  Palakkottai [ Jackfruit seed ] can also be added to this recipe. Koottu is a thick gravy prepared using vegetables and lentils adding coconut paste. It is one of the items made for lunch. Koottu is a side dish for sambar rice and rasam rice just like stir fry/curry. Let us see the preparation here now.
