South ndian Lentil Kootu

South ndian Lentil Kootu
  • 1/2 cup red lentils
  • 1/2 cup hulled, split pigeon peas (toor dal)
  • 1/2 cup yellow split peas
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seed
  • 4 leaves fresh curry leaves
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1/4 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated fresh coconut


  1. Bring the red lentils, pigeon peas, split yellow peas, and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the peas are tender, about 30 minutes. Add more water if needed to keep them from drying out.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the mustard seeds, and cook until they begin to sputter and pop, about 2 minutes. Stir in the curry leaves until wilted, then add the carrot, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the zucchini, peas, turmeric, red pepper flakes, and salt. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked peas and coconut to serve.
