Cabbage coconut masala curry

 We can prepare many varities with Cabbage like pickle,fried rice,raita,curies,fries,chutnies,samosa curry and adding in paratas.In north indian dishes it is placed in second position after aloo(potato).We can eat this recipe with rice as well as roti also.Cabbage is a good anti oxidant vegetable and best to stimulate immune system.So we should eat cabbage regularly.This recipe is not regular one because I add coconut masala paste instead of  garam masala.That gives not much spiciness and not smooth  regular taste.

Kanda pidupu (yam curry)

  This is a south indian special recipe.Preparation of yam curry is just like normal curry preparation. But difference is adding little bit of tamarind juice only.Do not think that it is a soup curry because we are adding only 2 flakes of tamarind.That is gives different taste and adding asafoetida gives good aroma to the curry.Adding asafoetida in the curry  increases the digestion.

Keep in the mind

prepare the curry in low or medium flame.preparing any curry in high flame doesnot gives good taste.
before putting off the flame taste the curry, if salt and spiciness is enough or not.if you think salt is not enough you can add it .
for getting all useful qualities of coriander leaves  add this to the curry before put off the flame.raw coriander leaves gives great benefits to the health than cooked one.
if you  do not like to add jaggery or any sweetner to the curry, you can avoid it .but adding little bit of  jaggery or sugar in any soup curries increases the taste of the curry....
