Notes

I have added grated cabbage for quick cooking but usually they add cut cabbages.
Either way you can do if you donot like adding grated one.
Adding cococnut oil gives overall flavour to the dish.
I have not added turmeric powder but you can add if you wish.
After adding the ground mixture don't boil the kootu too long.
