    Cabbage Kootu

    Cabbage/Muttakos is a healthy veggie which provides lot of health benefits including cancer prevention, improves immunity & digestion and good for heart too. As I love all the vegetables, cabbage is no exception. But i prefer this kootu rather than simple cabbage stir fry.

    This kootu tastes so delicious and very quick to make. Even cabbage haters will love this kootu recipe. Its a great accompaniment with rice and any thogayal. This cabbage kootu goes well with chapati too. Let's get on to check how to make this healthy cabbage kootu.

    Notes :

    • Keep the flame in low to medium while boiling the kootu in order to avoid the bottom to get sticked.
    • If the kootu is watery add a teaspoon of rice flour in the end and boil it for 2 minutes to make it thick.
    • This kootu thickens with time so switch off the flame accordingly.
