    Yummy, yummy, yummy! This is a fabulous way to use up that 1/2 head of cabbage languishing in the veggie bin. So good!

    So healthy and low calorie and low fat, yet very rich tasting and satisfying. Just the right undertone of heat. I did add a bit of water and cover the cabbage and let it cook almost ten minutes. It was then a combination of soft and crispy--just right. I did not have asafetida powder (Indian saffron is another name for it) and added a bit of extra turmeric at the end. I also added some grated coconut--an excellent addition. The fresh cilantro gives the whole dish a very bright flavor.

    This recipe was just wonderful, and your spice mixture was spot on. I especially liked the fact that there was very little oil in the preparation. In a dish like this, I too prefer my cabbage cooked down a bit, so I added about 3/4 cup of water to the skillet and covered it to let the mixture steam a bit. This turned out every bit as good as my favorite local Indian restaurant, and I can't wait to try your variations on the recipe. Thank you Sana for sharing the recipe.
