Taming cabbage

I am a shoddy cook. I like to put things ont he stove and gallivant.On the contrary, my husband likes to oversee that everything is going fine on the stove. When I had a pan full and some cabbage to cook, I decided to leave the remaining to go into another dish, another day. When I asked my husband to give the cooked cabbage a stir so it would get the colour from the turmeric and the onion base all mixed well, he stayed by it and added the remaining cabbage. In some long time, we had a well cooked cabbage curry. I have seen people do magic with cabbage curry. When cutting the cabbage, we could smell it. It doesnt happen to be his favourite smell. One of my exroomate could slice the cabbage really thin. My friend's sister fried lot of urad dal for this curry. The smell of fried urad dal stays with you. This evening I could smell a dosa imagining the smell of fried urad dal. I am finally putting my olfactory senses to work. I was in a odorless world for a long time now.
A little more salt would have made the curry perfect.

I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...

Egg Malai Masala

  Egg Malai Masala  Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well. I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.
