CABBAGE CHUTNEY

Ingredients:

Cabbage - 4 medium leaflets
Chick peas split - 1 tbsp
Green gram splita - 1 tbsp
Red chili - 4
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Salt to taste
Oil - 1 tbsp

Preparation:

Cook cabbage in water or steam it. Heat oil in a pan and saute chick peas splits.


When it turns golden brown add green gram splits.


When it turns gold add red chili and curry leaves. Saute for a few seconds and let it cool.


Grind with cooked cabbage and serve with idly or dosa. If we cook cabbage in oil then the chutney smells a little unpleasant. But boiling and grinding won't smell so and the taste will be very good.
