  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.
