Cabbage kootu is a mild, comforting South Indian stew that combines shredded cabbage with split pigeon peas (toor dal) or moong dal, tempered with aromatic spices like cumin, mustard seeds, and curry leaves, and often finished with a lightly spiced coconut paste that adds creaminess and gentle sweetness. Rooted in satvik cooking traditions, it balances the sweetness of cabbage and coconut with the savory warmth of turmeric and a hint of heat from green chilies or black pepper, resulting in a nourishing dish that supports digestion and mental calm. Served alongside steamed rice or as part of a traditional meal, cabbage kootu is prized for its simple ingredients, easy preparation, and wholesome, grounding flavors that promote energy and well-being.
