Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 c Mung dal
1/2 sm Cabbage -- chopped fine
1 lg Baking potato, diced
1 bn Frozen peas
1 t Sambar powder
Turmeric -- to taste
Salt -- to taste
Shredded dry coconut
-soaked in a little water
Mustard -- (seasoning)
Urad dal -- (seasoning)
Dry red chilli -- (seasoning)
Curry leaves -- (seasoning)
Oil -- (seasoning)

Set dal to cook in about 2 cups water and a touch
turmeric. When dal is three-quarters done add shredded
cabbage, potatoes and a little more water if needed on
top of the dal. Add sambar powder and salt.

Cover with a lid and let it simmer away another 10 to
15 minutes. Veggies should be done but still holding
their shape. Stir in wet coconut. Remove from heat.
Top with seasoning as explained in previous recipes.

If more particular, grind fresh coconut with roasted
red chilli and roasted urad dal paste in lieu of the
desiccated coconut.

Variations:

You can do a keerai (spinach) kootan with a little
modification. Add fresh coconut ground with roasted
red chillies, urad dal and a little cumin. Also you
can cook toovar dal separately or throw veggies + dal
in a cooker for a few minutes, if you like. This tends
to overcook veggies but can be done fast.
