Hi Deepa,
Yes in Tamilnadu we cook with cabbage often.I do make cabbage poriyal frequently but haven't made kootu. adding tomatoes to cabbage and cooking cabbage in pressure cooker is new to me. Will surely try this the next time and let u know.

Hi Deepa,
I want to try this recipe as my husband love varieties. But our son is allergic to coconut and he loves cabbage. I just want to ask one thing will it be tasty without coconut.
Thank you,
Smitha.
