Kobichi Bhaji - Cabbage Chana Dal vegetable

Cabbage is amongst my favourite vegetables.I love it in salads, snacks, pakodas, parathas, a semi cooked vegetable called sambharo ( gujarati style) and in vegetables like an Upkari ( konkani style: see my earlier post). I like combining it with potatoes, peas, capsicum, channa dal or sometimes as a vegetable kheema. I can eat cabbage anyday.

This one is a simple everyday preparation with least amount of oil or spices.
2 cups shredded cabbage,
2 green chillies- slit,
6 curry leaves,
2 tsp oil, 
1/4 cup channa dal soaked, ( optional)
1/4 tsp mustard seeds,
1/4 tsp turmeric,
1/2 tsp coriander powder,
chopped green coriander to garnish.
Fresh dessicated coconut to garnish

Heat oil , add mustard, chillies, curry leaves.Add dal and roast till pink.add 1/4 cup water , cover and cook till dal is almost cooked.dry out the water is any and add the cabbage. Mix well , add turmeric, coriander powder, and salt. cook for 2 mins . The cabbage should be just done and not too limp. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and fresh coconut and serve with rotis.
