Preparation

• Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add cumin seeds + Bengal Gram + Black Gram + red chili and fry for some time until the dals turn golden brown in color.
• To this, add onion + tomato + green chilies + cabbage + green peas + turmeric and stir well. Pour little water (approx. ¼ cup) into the pan, cover and let all the veggies cook for some time.
• When all the water gets absorbed and cabbage becomes tender and lost its raw smell, remove the cover and add yogurt and mix well.
• Keep the flame on low at this time and leave the pan for some time until the vegetables absorb the yogurt well. Add salt to taste.
• Finally add cilantro, stir well and turn off the flame. Transfer the gravy to a serving bowl and enjoy with rice or chapathis.
