Cabbage curry is one vegetarian accompaniment for roti and chapathi which is quick and easy to prepare with very few ingredients. It sort of has a coconut oil flavor added to give a kerala touch to the curry.
Instead of the regular potato curry for roti, Cabbage curry is definitely a healthy option. Its was dad who introduced me to this curry as an accompaniment for roti. As usual i was a bit reluctant to go with this curry as traditional taste belief prevented me from indulging in a new curry with cabbage
CONFESSION: We are not cabbage lover. Except for a few dishes i hate the smell of the cabbage and its soggy texture. Half cooked cabbage is my cup for any cabbage dish. I almost prefer them to stay raw. Dad prepared this cabbage curry with cabbage half cooked and i loved that crunchiness of the cabbage in the curry. The curry is more like a stew and i sipped and slurped until the last drop of it and from that moment Cabbage curry is a regular dish for rotis. At home, all are obsessed with rotis and a rich accompaniment for dinner.
