Cabbage Chutney


Cabbage is one of the most common vegetable and it would be in the grocery list of almost all south indian families. You could find that kids and teens turning away from this cabbage curries as it tastes very blunt and not flavory...But remember, you will soon start to love or (forced to eat) this cabbage because of its low fat and its a very healthy vegetable. Cabbage always reminds us the Cabbage+Carrot side dish, which is one of the default dish in almost all our family functions. Just to add a variety, we tried this chutney from Maheshwari's blog and it came out very well. Give a try and find how you can add variety to chutney dishes too.
