'''Molagoottal''' ({{lang-ta|மொளகூட்டல்}}; {{lang-ml|മൊളഗൂട്ടല്}}) is a [[South India]]n stew with coconut and [[lentil]]s as a base. It is a dish unique to the Nairs and Iyers of Kerala.<ref name="Kerala Iyers Cuisine">[https://web.archive.org/web/20011026040812/http://www.keralaiyers.com/cuisine.html KeralaIyers.com - The portal for Kerala Iyers<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><br />
<br />
It is eaten mixed with [[rice]]. It substitutes for [[sambar (dish)|sambar]] or other curry. It is different from sambar and other similar dishes in that it is less spicy and does not contain tamarind. Typical vegetables used in making molagoottal are winter melon (white pumpkin), [[Moringa oleifera|drumstick]], squash, [[cucumber]]s, sprouted pulses, [[Yam (vegetable)|yam]]s, root vegetables, [[spinach]] and green leaves. Nowadays, molagoottal has been adapted to include Western vegetables such as [[carrot]]s, [[cabbage]] and [[potato]]es.<br />
<br />
Molagoottal is similar in preparation and texture to the Tamil dish ''[[Kootu|koottu]]'', the difference being that the latter is thicker and uses [[Bengal gram]].<br />
