Yum! Yum! Yum!

I have been going crazy with Cabbage these days, trying all sort of varities with it. Usually I chop the cabbage in variety sizes ( some in small pieces and some as long strings ) and store in the fridge so that it is handy to pop cabbage into any dish or make any dish with it quickly. Today I am pairing Cabbage with Tomato in this Chutney, that makes it little colorful and super tangy and tasty than routine Cabbage Chutney. It goes well with White Rice or i love this esp with Soft Dosa or Crispy Vada.. Here is the recipe, Njoy!


Ingredients:
Cabbage - 1 cup ( chopped)
Tomato - 1 (medium)
Green Chili - 3
Garlic Cloves - 3
Tamarind - 1 Tbsp
Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp

Tempering (Optional):
Oil - 1 Tbsp
Red Chili - 1
Chana Dal - 1 tsp
Urad Dal - 1 tsp

2. Once it is cool, grind everything together in the small mixie jar along with salt into fine paste (taste and adjust salt accordingly while grinding)
3. Transfer this to serving bowl. Add Tempering on top.
