Method:
2
Pressure cook the dhal (lentils) till soft.
3
Grind the coconut, green chillies, cumin seeds, ginger, pepper corns with enough water to make a smooth paste.
4
Steam the cabbage till almost done in a little water.
5
Add turmeric powder, the boiled potatoes, peas and capsicum, broccoli. Boil for 5 minutes, add the coconut paste and the cooked dhal ( I usually mix the dhal and coconut paste first and stir till the dhal dissolves into the paste).
6
Add salt,boil for another 5 minutes. I like my Kootu a little fluid, not thick.
7
Temper with mustard seeds, cumin, curry leaves and one dry red chilli in hot coconut oil.
8
Serve hot with rice or chapatis. Goes well with rasam or sambar too.
