White cabbage curry
Cooking time: 10 min. / 13 min.Difficulty: easy
Another recipe from the range of Sri Lankan curries. This time the main ingredient is white cabbage, which I considered as quite boring vegetable, until I tried this recipe of course ;)
Process
Mix all ingredients and cook on a small fire 13-16 minutes covered. To get the cabbage soft, but still crunchy.
Serve with rice and other Sri Lankan curries.
In Sri Lanka from time to time added a few potatoes (cleaned and cut into wedges) and Jackfruit seeds. Both were cooked together with cabbage and spices.
