How to prepare Noolkol kootu

In a cooker or pressure pan, add chopped noolkol, soaked dal, sambar powder, salt needed, turmeric powder, 3/4 cup of water and pressure cook for 3 whistles. (Those who do not have cooker can cook covered in a pan. It will take a longer time than pressure cooker, that’s all.)
