Munthiri Kothu is a special dish usually prepared during christmas or any function mostly in the Kanyakumari district of TamilNadu. It is also popular in some parts of Kerala and Srilanka.
The principal ingredients used is the green gram, coconut and Palm Jaggery. However, some use normal Jaggery also to prepare Munthiri Kothu.
I have no idea why this dish is named as Munthiri Kothu. I have assumed and heard from few that just because it is prepared as bunches, I mean after deep frying it will be in clusters and in tamil cluster or bunches mean “kothu”. Munthiri in tamil means Cashew. Usually cashew fruit in its tree will be seen in bunches and hence this dish resembles that it is named as Munthiri Kothu. It may be an assumption also, but I was told so by few elders in the family.
 
Starting this new year with a traditional dish.Wish you all have a lovely and healthy 2020.May all your dreams come true in this decade. Now lets see how to prepare Munthiri Kothu.
