Cabbage Kootu, also known as Muttaikose Kootu, is a healthy South Indian dish made with cabbage and chana dal. It features a rich blend of ingredients, including turmeric, sambar powder, grated coconut, green chilies, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and urad dal, all simmered together to create a thick, flavorful curry. The dish is quick to prepare, typically involving pressure cooking the lentils and cabbage. Kootu, meaning "add" in Tamil, combines vegetables with lentils and coconut for a versatile side dish that pairs well with rice, sambar, rasam, and other accompaniments. Variations exist, but this version focuses on plain vegetables.
