Week 1 - Thenga Muttaikose

I've been really happy with 660 Curries by Raghavan Iyer. This dish, Coconut Cabbage with Chiles and Peas is no exception.

 

It was cabbagey without being sulphury or bitter. The peas came through really well and the jalapenos I used were not too hot. The broth was delicious. Surprisingly, the very small amount of urad dal I used (about a Tbsp), gave it a really nice nuttiness.

 

A real winner.

 

We ate it as a main course, with grocery store naan on the side, but it would probably be best as a fantastic side-dish.

 

I've only recently started writing notes in my cookbooks. It's a really liberating experience!
