About Banana stem kootu
Banana Stem Kootu is a nutritious South Indian dish made from the tender inner stem of the banana plant, cooked with lentils, coconut, and mild spices. A staple in Tamil cuisine, this balanced dish combines the earthy flavors of moong dal with the subtle crunch of banana stem, enriched by a blend of cumin, curry leaves, and coconut paste. Packed with dietary fiber, potassium, and antioxidants, banana stem aids digestion, supports kidney health, and may help regulate blood sugar levels. Moong dal contributes protein and essential nutrients, while the use of minimal oil and spices makes this kootu a heart-healthy option. Traditionally served with steamed rice, it’s a wholesome way to incorporate plant-based goodness into your meals. Though highly nutritious, the dish is relatively low in calories and free of unhealthy fats, making it a favored choice for lighter, balanced eating in South Indian households.
