Hey Foodies !

Did you know that cabbage holds many major health benefits. It packs Vitamin C, purifies blood and remove toxins, rich in fiber and iodine.

So with such amazing veggie if you add lentils for some added protein, what else one can ask for.

Green Cabbage (cut into small pieces)
Green slit gram (moong dal , soak it in water)
Garlic cloves 3-4
Curry Leaves
Green chili 2 (slit into half)
Black cumin (just a pinch)
Masala 1 table spoon
Ghee 1/2 table spoon
Vegetable Oil 3-4 table spoon
Salt for taste.


Preparation:-

Usually i prefer cooking in pressure cooker. It a life saver in Kitchen for every Indian :D. You can use any shallow pan . So in a pressure cooker once heated , add oil,garlic and black cumin. Then after add the chilies and cabbage. And fry it for couple for seconds. Now add the soaked lentils to the cabbage and fry it for some time.Keep stirring the veggie and lentil for couple of more seconds and ten add the Masala and the curry leaves to it. Mix well and add around two cups of water to the cabbage and lentils and put a lid on. Usually when ever i am cooking in pressure cooker i put it on heat for max 3-4 mins .

Just before serving the curry add 1/2 tablespoon of Ghee .

Serve it with hot chapatti / flat bread.

Yumm and healthy :)
