CABBAGE KOOTU | KOOTU RECIPE


cabbage kootu copy
This is one of the best accompaniments for puli kulambu/Vathakuzhambu/kara kuzambu.My mom makes either this kootu or chow chow kootu most of the time.I have used finely chopped ginger pieces to supress the cabbage smell. Addition of coconut oil gives a nice flavour to this kootu.Even people who hate cabbage loves this kootu recipe.My mil also makes the same way but the only difference is mom adds milk before serving..Try this simple kootu recipe.U’ll love it for sure..
