MIXED VEGETABLE KOOTU

Today I had a few left over vegetables in my kitchen.......I wanted to finish it all before buying fresh ones. I had a bottlegourd,little cabbage and carrot.So when I was thinking what to do with all these veggies, I thought I could make either a kurma or a kootu.But since I dont want much spices in my receipe today I opted for  kootu...I made
