Cabbage Vepudu (Fry)

A simple, crunchy, dry saute (vepudu/poriyal) is Cabbage stir-fry with the perfect blend of color and taste. A stand-out recipe where cabbage is mildly spiced with red chilli, cumin and coriander powders and garnished with fresh coriander leaves. One of my favorites as a side to go with rice, rasam and appadam.

Vankaya Paalu Posina Kura

Today, I made two simple vegetable dishes with steamed cracked wheat (in place of white rice) and rasam. The other dish was an eggplant curry cooked in milk, Vankaya Paalu Posina Kura which I have blogged earlier.
