"Cabbage Sukka"
Hello guys and girls...
I am back with my week off in the kitchen recipes and today we'll see Cabbage Sukka..
The Dry Preparation of Cabbage with a flavor of tomatoes..
As one of my friends asked me to write more about vegetarian dishes, I am trying to explore more in vegetarian now..
So as usual, the day started with going to buy ingredients. I got:
Cabbage: 250g
Tomatoes: 2pcs
Whole Red Chili: 2 pcs
Cumin Seeds: a pinch
Oil: 2 tspn
Red Chili Powder: 1 tspn
Coriander Powder: 1 tspn
Turmeric Powder: 1 tspn
Salt: to taste
So I first chopped the cabbage and tomatoes. In case of cabbage, you don't need to worry much for the cooking part as the leaves get cooked easily and contain a lot of water in them which helps in cooking.
Now put the oil in the pan; as it gets hot, add cumin and whole chilies. After few seconds, add the chopped cabbage. If you want you can add potatoes too.
Saute it well and then add a pinch of salt to it.
Again Saute it for a while and then add red chili powder, coriander powder and turmeric to it. Saute it for a while and cover it and allow it to get cooked.
After 8-10 mins, open the lid and saute it and add the tomatoes cubes to it. Saute more for 5 mins. Again cover the mix for 8-10 mins. After 10 mins check if the cabbage is cooked.
Not only the cabbage but also the masala should be well cooked.
Don't add water to the mix unless you want to make it gravy consistency, as the water inside the cabbage leaves would help in cooking.
Finally correct the seasoning and serve hot.
It can be relished best with a paratha.
Happy Cooking!!!!
