Cabbage Curry with peas

Cabbage is not a favorite for many and that is because it is not cooked the right way. The way it is cooked and the vegetables added along with it make a huge difference of what cabbage tastes like. I started liking cabbage after I started enjoying cooking and experimenting with food. This is a curry I tried in one of the restaurants and I liked it. So tried out in my kitchen and it was really good.
I followed sudha’s recipe, the only additional ingredient I used to the one mentioned in the list is shredded coconut. I cooked the cabbage in a microwave for a while to make it soft, so that the cooking time is reduced. Follow the same procedure do the tadka, cook the cabbage (the more it is crispier, better the taste), and add the peas. Finally before 5 minutes add the shredded coconut and sauté it for a while.

Enjoy the curry with roti or rice.

Cabbage cooked with Besan / Peeth Perleli Bhaji

The number of food bloggers in the community should be nearly equal to infinity, otherwise how come I stumble across a new blog daily. It is really inspiring and encouraging me to cook, knowing so many of us share a common hobby.

Today as I was searching for some good recipes in cabbage, found this one with a combo. I would have never tried, if not for that appealing photo. I know very few cabbage recipes, yesterday tried sodhi (cabbage cooked in coconut milk) and while browsing I also found this recipe in cabbage. I felt instantly that this is one recipe, I can give it a try without much alteration or hesitation and with the ingredients used I think I will like it.

I am planning to have it for lunch tomorrow, since wanted to have a day's break for cabbage.

The only one I may alter is the amount of besan flour as I have not used so much of besan flour in any of the recipes other than the bhaji’s. Depending on how it is turning out I may adjust the amount of besan flour. Really wishing it would yield the same results as in manasi’s kitchen.

Enjoy the cabbage curry with roti or rice.

Sodhi / Cabbage in Coconut milk

With so many varieties of cabbage available having a different recipe in hand is good. I was ready to try this recipe after having a look at the title. For people who have tasted cabbage kootu or know the recipe for cabbage kootu it is almost the same recipe without the dhal. To get a similar taste then I grinded the chilies and jeera long with the coconut milk (3rd time). Cabbage slow cooked in coconut milk will taste heavenly and I love it as a combo with curd rice.
I like this dish for two reasons.
1.) Not much of spices other than cumin seeds, chilies and salt.
2.) Though not much of spices, it is not bland, since the chilies are grinded it is usually spicy even for 2 -3 chilies and I usually make sure I get a jolt of heat, especially when had with curd rice.

Enjoy sodhi or cabbage curry with rice or rotis.

Cabbage Pakoda / Cabbage Pakora

Cabbage pakoda / pakora was the snack for the Sunday evening along with the oscar TV show. It is at times good to do just some star gazing while lying relaxed on your couch. Jaden smith was great when he presented the awards, he is a natural should be being the son of Will Smith.

Back to our snack cabbage pakoda’s, I think it is ok to have deep fried food once a week when you work out enough. These pakoda’s are crisper than the regular ones and tastes great. At times I add thinly sliced potatoes too along with the cabbage just to enjoy the fried potatoes along with cabbage and onion. Another few ingredients I usually add are 2 -3 tbsp of grated ginger, chopped curry leaves and baking soda along with the mixture.
