Cabbage Chutney

Cabbage Chutney is one of my favourites. When I first made this after marriage, my mother in law was surprised to see that chutney can be made of cabbage also. But, trust me, it tastes really good.

Ingredients:

  • Chopped Cabbage - 4 cups
  • Red Whole Chillies - 3-4
  • Tamarind Extract - 1 tbsp
  • Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Urad Dal Wash - 1 tsp
  • Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Hing ( Asafoetida ) - a pinch
  • Curry Leaves - 1 spring
  • Oil - 3 tbsp
  • Salt - to taste

Directions:

  • Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan and fry the chopped cabbage for 10 minutes or till the cabbage is cooked. Let it cool.
  • In a grinder, add cabbage, tamarind extract, turmeric powder and red chillies and grind them all with minimum water required to grind into a paste.
  • Transfer it into a bowl . Add salt and mix.
  • For tempering, heat 1 tbsp of oil and add mustard seeds , let them splutter. Then add urad dal, fry till they turn reddish in color. Add hing and curry leaves.
  • Put this tempering on the chutney and mix well.

This goes well with rice or chapati.
