Cook the moong dal until soft but not mushy.
Cook nellai style kongu nadu keerai pepper masala with turmeric and salt in just enough water.
Grind coconut, cumin and green chillies to a smooth paste and add to the vegetables.
Add the cooked dal, simmer 5 minutes until everything comes together.
Temper mustard, urad dal and curry leaves in coconut oil and mix in.
அரைத்த தேங்காய் விழுதை கடைசியாக சேர்த்து அதிகம் கொதிக்க விடாதீர்கள்.
Add the ground coconut paste last and do not boil hard, or the kootu turns watery.
Cool completely, store in a glass or steel container and refrigerate up to 2 days. Reheat on a low flame with a splash of water, never in a hurry.
