Directions
Spiced Cabbage and Coconut,You read correctly: cabbage and coconut. This piquant Indian dish sounded so unusual that I had to try it, and I’m glad that I did. If you dare to try this, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. The 700 g of cabbage equals about half of a medium sized cabbage.,This was ,very tasty and quick. I had the same issue as other reviewers, and tried to compensate by adding extra oil and cooking it covered for a while on a lower temperature. Next time I’ll probably add some water or stock, or steam the cabbage first. Maybe we all missed something, could the recipe poster clarify if that is the case? Thanks for the great recipe anyhow!,I think this is a good dish for summer or hot days, particularly, with lots of cool flavors. The cabbage and coconut go together surprisingly well. I forgot the chiles, but we had this with 2 other spicy dishes (Easiest Black Pepper Chicken #8920 and my BF’s version of eggplant bharta), so it was a lovely sweeter contrast. VERY easy to throw together and like valerie #2 said, I think this would be a nice side for many meals, not just for Indian food. I do have to agree with Rita, though- I added some water and a little more peanut oil to get my cabbage to cook properly- I was kind of concerned about the cumin seeds burning too. I don’t think you need much- maybe 1/4 cup or less,but I do think you need some. Stock might be a good idea too, as Rita suggested. I highly recommend using unrefined peanut oil if you can get it, as it still has its peanut flavor, which really compliments this dish as well. Thanks, Minx! We enjoyed this.
