Recipe for Koova Kurukkiyathu

Koova Kurukkiyathu  is a typical Kerala style Recipe. Koova is called as Arrow root in English. It is mostly used in Kerala as a health drink.
Sometimes I have seen it being used  as a thickening agent in soups and sauces just like the way corn starch is used.

Ingredients needed for Koova Kurukiyathu
 2 tbsps Arrowroot powder
2 tbsps grated Jaggery
 1 tbsp Coconut
Ghee  to taste

How to prepare Koova Kurukkiyathu:
Blend arrowroot powder with 1/2 cup of water to make a thin batter like consistency.
Melt the jaggery in water and bring it to boil to form a syrup.
Mix in the arrowroot batter into  the jaggery syrup, stirring all the time  on medium flame until it gets semi-solid.
Stir in the fresh grated coconut and mix well.
Keep on slow fire for few more minutes.
Pour ghee over the Koova Kurukkiyathu.
Serve this either hot or chilled.

Points to Note 
It is usually eaten along with banana chips and plantains for breakfast. This pudding can also be served as a desert, chilled.

This arrowroot powder is a very good food for the people suffering from Diaorrhoes
