I make kothavarangai kootu with added small pieces potatoes and tomatoes. Like take moong dal boil it half and then add to it kothavarangai cut into small pieces, to that we can add two cut tomatoes ,and one cut potatoes . Let all get it boil to get the consistency kootu . In fact we have to add salt and perungayam to get our desired taste.
