CABBAGE CURRY – CABBAGE WITH DAL
Cabbage (Muttaikose) Curry recipe is quite different recipe from other curries. This is more over like a sambar without tamarind. This recipe is a good alternative from regular sambar or dal recipe. It tastes good with chapati as well as cooked rice. Papad or vathal is enough for the side dish. You can make it thin and have it with Dosa also.
