ABOUT Kos Usili (Cabbage and lentil curry) RECIPE

A delicious dish made with crumbled red gram and cabbage.

Ingredients Serving: 4

Split red gram (arhar dal) 1cup / 160 gm
Cabbage (bandh gobi), chopped 300 gm
Dry red chillies (sookhi lal mirch) 6
Salt to taste or 2 tsp / 8gm
Asafoetida (hing) a pinch
Turmeric (haldi) powder ¼ tsp
Refined oil 6 tbsp / 90 ml
Mustard seeds (rai) ¼ tsp

Instructions

Soak the split red gram in hot water for 25-30 minutes. Drain and grind coarsely with the dry red chillies, salt, asafoetida, and turmeric powder.
Steam cook the red gram paste (2-3 whistles in a pressure cooker). Remove and crumble it with your fingers or a ladle.
Cook the cabbage separately (or you could steam cook this along with the red gram paste).
Heat the oil in a pan; saute the mustard seeds till the seeds start spluttering. Add the crumbled mixture and the cooked cabbage.
Stir-fry till the mixture is to your liking (some like it really fried while others like it soft for it dries with extra frying).
