Poricha kootu is a popular curry kind of dish from Tamil Nadu and Chenai Kizhangu Poricha Kootu Recipe is made with elephant yam. It’s a coconut based curry with amazing spices in it. Probably elephant yam is wisely used in the Southern parts of India because of its origin. Make sure not to use young and fresh yam to avoid prickling sensation on the tongue. Keep the yam in a dry place for few days and then use. Also ensure that you add tamarind juice while cooking yam to prevent tongue prickling which might cause a discomfort.

Serve Chenai Kizhangu Poricha Kootu Recipe along with steamed rice, Muttai Parotta Recipe ( Ande Ka Paratha / Egg Filled Flat Bread), steamed rice, Tamil Nadu Style Dal Masala Vada with Cabbage Recipe and Tamil Nadu Style Pala Kottai Sambar Recipe for a complete lunch or dinner.
