Cabbage & Egg Cutlet gravy

Now a days market is full of cabbage. So wanted to give it a twist with egg which I learnt from a blogger friend. There are two ways of having this dish either dry or with little curry. Personally prefer little gravy.

Ingredients:

  • Half cabbage
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 Dry red chilly
  • One onion paste
  • 2_3 tomatoes
  • 2 tsp of cumin seed paste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp each of turmeric and chilly powder

Procedure:


1)Cut the cabbage in Julian size and mix salt. Keep it aside for half an hour


2) Now mix 4 eggs so that all the cabbage pieces are coated with egg.


3)Coat the pan with 1 tbsp of oil.heat well.Now pour this mixed cabbage and egg and lower the flame


4)Cook it for 10 mins in low flame


5)After one side is done turn it over with a help of a plate and cook similarly the other side. Don't use too much oil as you will need oil in every step. 



6) Now let it cool down for a while and cut the whole thing into pieces. Medium or small totally depends upon you.


7) Now fry the Pieces again properly. At this point you can deep fry as it is and have it with snacks.
Or
You can shallow fry the Pieces in medium flame and put these in the gravy


8)Add little oil. Add 2 bay leaves.. then add the onion paste and ginger garlic paste. Cook it till the raw smell goes away.


9)Now add the tomatoes and cumin paste and cook well for another 7 mins


10) Add turmeric , chilly and salt according to your taste. I added 1 tsp of sugar at this point .Cook and blend the spices well then add a cup of water and let it boil.
.

11)Then slowly add the fried cabbage pieces till the spices go inside. Cook till it gets little dry as we don't want a runny curry.

12) lastly add 1/2 tsp of garam masala and 1 tsp of ghee from top.



Garnish with coriander leaves and serve with Hot Rice
