We are Americans who are semi-vegetarian and grow our own vegetables. We are also hooked on Indian vegetarian food and eat it at least twice a week! It seems there are so many things to do with nearly any vegetable! Did you know that Polish people make their own version of this? I grew up eating cabbage with yellow peas/lentils as well but with bay leaves instead of curry leaves…go figure! Thank you for the wonderful recipes!!!

I have trouble in cutting cabbage for the curry or fry, either i cut them very finely or very thick. Can you tell me how to cut the cabbage into thin strips?

Mandoline helps a lot with cabbage cutting, Bindu. I use it to cut cabbage, karela, and plantain for our curries.

What can i use as sabstitute for coconut powder? Coconut milk would be fine? Is coconut powder the same as dessicated coconut flakes that i would grind in a coffee grinder?

Indira,
Can you please tell me what brand/type of mandoline you have? I found 100’s of them on an amazon search and don’t want to take chances, but want to get
something thats tried and tested. Can you please email me back?
Thanks,
savitha

Hi Indira garu,
thank you for the recipe. the other day I bought cabbage for the first time in my 7 years of married life as I hated it as a child and later on as well and my hubby had no special interest either. I looked for a recipe, found yours. today I couldn’t use onion or garlic but this still came out wonderful. easy to prepare and I can’t believe I actually liked cabbage.already looking forward to make again.

hi,
I tried it and was very tasty and easy to make.
To soak chana daal just keep in microoven for 10min before cooking.

what gives the cabbage its yellow color? suppose the end result is not as yellow as shown… is that bad?

It’s turmeric, Roshni.

amazing recipe. i used to make cabbage a different way, but this is how my mom makes it, and exactly what i was looking for! and now i know not to add water! (i am a college student, so slowly getting into the cooking world)

Hello SS,
Good to know that you had success with this recipe.
Thanks for taking time to let me know. Happy cooking experiments.:)
