Cabbage in Yogurt

Cabbage in yogurt gravy or Cabbage Perugu Pachhadi ( in telugu )
This dish is originally from Tamil Nadu and is called Cabbage Mor Kootu in Tamil.
This is traditionally made with the usual green cabbage, however, I experimented with the red cabbage and that tasted good too. You can try both.
