Cabbage is one vegetable that takes no other form other than a stir fry that goes as side for rice. Having a huge piece staring at me from the fridge, I had no idea what to do. Pulling through my cookbooks on the shelf, I came across this recipe and what a relief! For those who are from Kerala would be very familiar with the name “Lakshmi Nair”. Famous for her Magic Oven episodes, she continues to be a chef that many ladies start with in their cooking escapades. Her book “Magic Oven” had this recipe and thankfully, I was able to finish off the whole cabbage and more than that, I got a recipe that I can repeat on days when I am having vegetarian meal on the course! A simple recipe, that hardly takes time to make yet tastes delicious… Off to the way it was made…
