There are several ways of making Kootu which is a healthy mix of lentils and vegetables with very little spices . My sister in law Jaysri Prasad has given me this recepie .
Tual Dal -1/2 cup .
Shreaded cabbage - 1/2 cup .
Methi seeds - 1/2 tsp
Hing powder- a pinch
Green chilles - 5
Tamarind -
Lemon size .
Boil Tuar dal with turmeric till very soft . Squeeze juice out of tamarind . Add 1 cup of water to that tamarind juice and boil the shredded cabbage in that till soft. Take a heavy bottomed pan , heat 2 tsp of sunflower oil in it . Add a spoon of mustard seeds , curry leaves , the pinch of hing , the methi seeds and let it splutter . In the end add the slit green chillies . Then add the boiled cabbage and finally add the boiled tuar dal . Add salt as required .
As the last step you can add a fistful of coriander leaves . Cabbage kootu is ready .U can have it hot with rotis or rice . Many vegetables in place of cabbage can be used like carrots, spinach leaves , capsicum or onions .
