Kathirikkai gothsu recipe – Easy to make brinjal gotsu recipe – Side dish for idli, dosai, ven pongal and arisi upma, gotsu recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.

As I have mentioned in my previous post pidi kozhukattai, I tasted this kathirikkai gothsu recipe at my mami’s house. It is an effortless side dish made with easily available ingredients. Usually, we add sambar podi or a freshly ground gothsu podi to make a gothsu. But this is a simple one and green chili and ginger lend to the flavor and taste of the gotsu.

You can soak the moong dal for an hour and make this gotsu as a one-pot gothsu in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot. We are not grinding anything for this gothsu recipe, making it easy and less time-consuming.

If you are bored with usual sambar or chutney for idli,dosa or pidi kozhakattai, try this easy Kathirikkai gothsu recipe. Also check out, Onion gotsu, Kalyana gothsu, Tomato gotsu
