My one and only one problem after marriage was thinking of menu. Planning a menu for three times a day is not an easy job. Sometimes I find planning a menu is more difficult than cooking. If you know what to cook or you had planned what to cook then cooking part will take less time and it is more fun too. But without any plan you are entering the kitchen, then staring at the fridge and pantry takes lot of time.
At times, I will irritate my hubby dear asking him what he likes to eat or else will ask my mom what she has made for lunch/dinner? Till date at times planning a menu is a bit tough job to me. No one can eat the same dal, chawal everyday nor the same side dish with roti. As it is said ‘variety is spice of life’, this quote aptly applies for cooking. To make a variety recipe and spice up every meal is something that leads me to choose and cook different side dishes for roti or rice.
How to make South Indian Cabbage Curry on Stovetop

When onions turn translucent add the chopped/shredded cabbage, green peas and carrots. Mix well and add red chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt.

Natashya KitchenPuppies says
Cabbage is now in season here in Canada and they are looking beautiful. What a great idea to make this healthy and delicious curry out of them. Is that Napa cabbage that you have used? We have all kinds here, I guess they like the cold climate. Such lovely gifts! I am especially tickled by the wine "outfits". Since I was born in Japan (I'm not Japanese) I used to have similar pajamas.
Shri says

Palidor says
I never thought of currying cabbage. It looks delicious!
Katy ~ says
I like menu planning, but it's mostly for dinners and weekend breakfasts. The lunches are mostly leftovers or hit-or-miss as I work from home and only have a very limited amount of time before I must return to work (I still have to punch a clock for my job.) Never knew I could use cabbage and curry together. Your gorgeous photographs make this look so enticing and tempting.
Katy ~ says
Please forgive my forgetfulness! Congratulations on your beautiful gifts!
