PARINGIKKAI PAAL KOOTU ( Pumkin in milk gravy)


There is a creamy delicious dish prepared in Tamilnadu known as Paal Kootu. Paal is Tamil word for milk and kootu means a thick gravy. I learnt this dish from my friend. This dish is prepared using any vegetable like pumpkin,bottle gourd,chayote or snake gourd. But I always love this dish prepared from pumpkin.
