When I lived in Malaysia, our South Indian cook made a very nice cabbage dish.She used Urid Daal, Curry leaves, Grated Coconut and cooked it like I used to cook -with out some of these ingredients. So I decided to cook the cabbage like she did but added Jalapeno to give a little Zing to it
Cabbage is a difficult vegetable to cook without having the whole house smell of Cabbage. It releases water when salt is added. So here is the trick. Add salt after you have chopped or shredded the cabbage. Let it stand for about 5 to 10 minutes. Mix well while squeezing with your hands. Then make a cup with one hand , put some cabbage in it and then squeeze using the other hand. Squeeze out the water-the cabbage will look wilted but just work on squeezing out water from Cabbage .Follow directions and you will create a great Cabbage dish. Frozen Grated Coconut is available in Asian Markets,
