This cabbage chutney or muttaikose chutney recipe is a delicious chutney made with cabbage. This tangy South Indian chutney is easy to make and goes well as a side dish for idli, dosa and chapathis.
A South Indian tiffin like idlis or dosas feel incomplete without a chutney to accompany it. I usually prepare a coconut-based chutney like mint coconut chutney as an accompaniment.
But sometimes I like to cut down on coconut usage and prepare a vegetable chutney like this patta gobi chutney.
Cabbage is one vegetable that is not a huge favorite of mine but serving it this way as a chutney is refreshingly different and tastes good. It is very easy to make without coconut or onions. I added lentils to this cabbage chutney and added little tamarind to give it a tangy taste.
