Cabbage Dhal

CABBAGE DHAL

Hi all,

I took this recipe from Priti's blog. Made this dhal for dinner and served this along with rice. My friend tried eating this dhal with chappathi and gave me a big WOW.. My hubby is not a great fan of cabbage and he never guessed that I prepred a dhal out of cabbage. And this recipe made his eat the full plate.. Thanks Priti for this wonderful recipe and the whole credit goes to you!!

I did make a minor change in the recipe and did come out well.

Ingredients:
cabbage (roughly chopped) - 2 cups
channa dal - 1 cup
tomatoes - 2 (roughly chopped)
green chillies - 3 ( chopped)
salt to taste

hing - 1/4 tsp

To season:
oil - 2 tbsp
mustard seeds - 1 tsp
cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp
onions - 1 (finely chopped)
corriander leaves (chopped) - 1 handful

Method:
- add everthing other than the "to season" ingredients to a pressure cooker and cook for 7 - 8 whistles
- in a pan add oil
