Cabbage Dal Curry

This is a dry curry and a little spicy one. The combination of a dal and vegetable makes it very unique and tasty too. The dal which I have used here is tuvar dal. You can choose to use moong dal as well. This is a good way to include a protein in our vegetarian diet. Since it is not very bland even kids love to eat this curry. I make this curry often as we all like to eat cabbage in a slightly spicy form rather than the bland one. Here I have used the combination of cooking techniques of using microwave and stove top. You can cook it, just on stove top too. This curry is adapted from the book 100 lunch recipes by Mallika Badrinath and this is my entry for Cookbook challenge by Srivalli.

The other cabbage recipe which is colourful and easier to cook is the Violet cabbage curry

Steps

Done

Cut the cabbage into thin strips or into small pieces. Transfer this to a microwave safe bowl, cover with a lid and cook for 4 minutes in micro High. Keep aside.
If you are cooking on stove top, skip this step

Add enough water to the dal and cook it with a little turmeric powder and oil in a pressure cooker till well cooked. Keep aside

Heat oil in a kadai. When sufficiently hot, add mustard seeds. When it begins to splutter add the bengal gram dal, curry leaves, chillies, and asafoetida. Fry for a few seconds.

4
Done

Now add the microwaved cabbage and salt. Mix well and cook for 1 minute.
If you have not cooked the cabbage in the microwave, then add the cut cabbage to the tempering, add salt, mix well, close with a lid and cook till done

To this cooked cabbage, add the cooked dal, mix well and cook till all the moisture is absorbed in low flame. Switch off the fire

I am huge fan of cabbage and this curry with rasam rice is so yum!!! Made a similar curry with Channa dal yesterday. Amma makes with Moong though. Never made this curry in a mw!

I will definitely try this soon! What better way than spicy karamathu to get your proteins.

Hi Veena, this looks so appetizing and I love cabbage! I’ve had it plain with some crunchy dal as a garnish – never with cooked dal. Definitely a must-try 🙂
