This is everybody’s favourite at our home. It is good enough with rice all by itself and you will not even ask for a sambhar or kuzhambhu. The little coconut chunks in it makes it more interesting and makes you to expect a sudden surprise when eating. The nutty taste of gram dall marries so well with cabbage and the finished dish does not smell even a bit like cabbage. Go ahead and give a try!
Ingredients
Cabbage- 1/3 of the head
Well cooked gram dall- 1 cup
Onion- 1 number
Tomato- 1/4
Green chilli- 1 number
Red chilli powder- 1 tsp
Coriander / Dhania powder- 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
For Seasoning
Oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, broken urad dall, curry leaves
How to make it
Cook the dall separately. If there is any excess water , do not throw away , we will need this to cook the veggie. Finely chop onion, tomato, cabbage and coconut. You can have bigger chops of coconut if you like to. Split the chilli. In a skillet, heat oil, sputter mustard seeds, cumin seeds and urad dall , add curry leaves & onion. When the onion turns transparent , add tomato and saute well. Add chilli powder, coriander powder, give a quick stir. Add the cabbage , lentil, salt and good amount of water. Cover the vessel and let it cook on sim heat. Add coconut and asfoetida when turning off the heat. Garnish withe cilantro and serve.
