Gothsu is a south indian gravy, like sambar for Pongal or Idli. For this we use split green gram/siruparuppu. I never knew until I got married to a Chennaiate. Many dishes are different from Karnataka.Tamilnadu dishes are prepared and enjoyed with combinations. I have prepared many times and today posting it.

Turmeric - 1/4 tspn

Add sambar powder and mix.
After one boil add mashed dal with water.

Namaskaram Saraswathi!
I really appreciate your 'courage & inner strength' to mention all the names of our Indian spices in our own Indian Tamizh language.You are keeping up our Indic traditions unlike many who substitute our terminology with western names.
Would any French cook ever substitute 'dosai' for their 'crepes'?Up till very recently India was the only nation in the world which was unique in the way our women dressed -the beautiful unique saree,donning the 'pottu' & greeting each other with Namaste!
But today we are "more western than the westerners"!
What are we trying to prove to the world???Let us not make fools of ourselves.
Let us keep to our wonderful ancient cultural traditions for India is the cradle of civilization.
Your blog is in reality a homage to our ancestors who have handed us our ancient PAAKASHASHTRAM for good health & longevity!
Hi. You have a nice blog and I have just started following you . It would be highly encouraging if you may follow me back too.
