 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.
