Gotsu is a side dish that goes well with Venpongal, and molagootal rice. Usually Amma and Paati makes puli inji or some thogayal as an accompaniment for molagootal rice. I learnt this recipe from my perima(Mom’s sister). She made this as a side dish for Gujarat kichadi. It tasted good and I tried this at my home.
