| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 3 cup | Cabbage (shredded) |
| 1 medium | Onion (chopped) |
| 3 cloves | Garlic (crushed) |
| 3 small | Green chili (slit open) |
| 1 small | Potato (cubed) |
| 2 Tablespoon | Bengal gram |
| 1 pinch | Turmeric powder |
| 3 pinch | Asafoetida |
| 2 Tablespoon | Fresh grated coconut |
| ¼ Teaspoon | Mustard |
| ¼ Teaspoon | Split black gram |
| ¼ Teaspoon | Cumin seeds |
| 5 leaves | Curry leaves |
| 2 few | Coriander leaves |
| 3 Teaspoon | Oil |
| ¼ Teaspoon | Salt (or to taste) |
| 1 cup | Water (for boiling) |
To start with soak bengal gram/ kadala paruppu for at least 1/2 hour. Peel, wash and cube the potatoes. Heat a cup of water, add drained bengal gram and potatoes, bring it to rolling boil, cover and cook for 10 minutes over medium flame. When done, drain the water and keep the cooked dal and potatoes aside.
Now heat the oil, temper with mustard, cumin seeds, split black gram, curry leaves and asafoetida. When the sizzle stops add the green chilies, chopped onion and garlic. Fry them until translucent, then add shredded cabbage with turmeric and cook till they turn slightly soft. Do not over cook, this step might require only 3 to 4 minutes on low flame. Add salt, cooked dal and potatoes. Toss to combine, switch off and garnish with with fresh grated coconut and coriander leaves. Relish as a side for any rice item.
Notes
- If you don’t have fresh coconut, use dry desiccated coconut instead.
- Chana dal should be cooked just enough to keep them soft and firm. Do not over cook. Microwave comes in handy for this step.
- My picture shows, finely chopped cabbage instead of shredded ones and also cubed the potatoes into very small pieces, which makes it hardly visible. Choice is yours, chop as you wish.

Hi Mullai Sis,
Whenever I cook cabbage or spinach, its leaving lot of water, though I dont even add a drop of water. Could you gimme some tip to overcome this.
Neetu, its natural that those veggies release water when cooked. After washing, see that you put them in a colander for sometime to drain any excess. Another option is to place them in a paper towel. Cook over medium high flame, this should make the water evaporate as well as ook the cabbage. Once its dry bring down the flame. Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot. Will try as you said.
I tried this as I had all in fride including boiled channa dal. I added coconut and sauted it with cabbage. It tasted good. A good recipe. Added some curry powder to the leftover and fried for a couple of mins and added to the rice for dinner. Trust me it was awesome. Do not how to name it but.
