Koova Nenthrapazham Kurukkiyathu ~ Arrowroot Plaintain Relish
Servings 4 -6
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups water
- 6 heaped tablespoons arrowroot powder kookapodi
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- A pinch salt
- 2 large or 3 medium nenthrapazham ripe plantain, cut into cubes
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients except the plantains into a smooth mixture and keep on medium-low flame to start cooking. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking at the bottom of the pan.
- When the mixture starts to heat, add the plantains and mix well.
- Leave it to thicken cooking for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid lumping. Switch off the flame, allow to cool slightly.
- Serve warm, as a filling breakfast!
Notes
The more you keep on low flame, the thicker it gets. So if you want a less thick consistency, you can switch off the flame within 2 minutes of the mixture thickening.
If you want the plaintains to be stiff, then add them after the kooka thickens and switch off after a couple of minutes.
