Cabbage kootu with moong dal, coconut, green chilli and small onion, cumin seeds as flavorings. My mom makes cabbage kootu this way, so I learnt it from her. This is quite different, I have seen only mom makes this way, MIL makes it yellow with sambar powder and chana dal in it. I love it both ways, still like moms the best 🙂 Its so flavorful, the grinding part makes it smell great! I simply love this kootu with rice and ghee,perfect as accompaniment for vatral kuzhambu and kara kuzhambu!

- Add the cooked mashed moong dal and stir well.
- Grind the ingredients under “To Grind” and stir in to the cooked cabbage.
- Bring to boil and mix well. Take care not to leave it as such while it boils, as it gets burnt in the bottom if left un attended for a while, so keep stiring.
- Lastly temper with the items in the ” tempering table”and mix well.

Hi Raks
I have made cabbage kootu following my mom's recipe but i have never eaten the way you have made . i tried today evening for dinner and came out really well. it was very tasty and went well with rice and pudhina thogayal. thanks again.
My husband and son hate cabbages . I tried this recipe with some left over cabbage and they both loved it, thanks Raks.
Evry dishes I love it And taste it but I except videos then its very helpful for me
why we are adding rice flour in this or it is necessary to add
It gives a homogeneous texture (thickens) as well as a nice subtle taste.
