Cabbage, Bell pepper Chutney

Cabbage is one vegetable not found frequently in our kitchen. I can't think of any varieties other than cabbage fry with some peas and carrot. I then tried this recipe just to see what else we can do with this vegetable. And it was an instant hit. My DH and friends really loved it. Lets see the recipe.

Ingredients:

For popu/tadka:

Chana dal - 1 tbsp

Mustard seeds - 1tbsp

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

Split urad dal - 1tsp

Oil - 1tbsp

Curry Leaves

For the actual recipe:

Half a small cabbage

Red bell pepper - 1 medium size

Tomatoes - 2 medium size

Green chillies - 10 (more/less depending on how spicy you would like it)

Oil - 1 tbsp

Method:

1. Heat oil in a frying pan. Add finely chopped cabbage and fry it for 5 minutes. Then, add bell pepper and fry for 15 minutes on medium heat. All the raw smell should be gone. If not, fry for some more time.

3. Now, add tomatoes and green chillies.

4. Fry the tomatoes until they turn mushy. Now, grind this mixture into a coarse/fine paste (the way you like it).

5. Heat oil in a frying pan. Put chana dal, mustard seeds, urad dal and cumin seeds and curry leaves. Add the cabbage, bell pepper, tomato paste and turn the stove off. Take this into a bowl and serve it with dosa/idli/rice.
