Let me state I am not generally a vegetable fan - especially the leaf variety - peas & beans & celery are about my lot with veggies. Cabbage i hate !
So, one evening in Dubai in early 1980s, my wife & I were just about to go out for the evening to a dinner party when our housegirl - Anna Sequira (from Goa, but now in Mumbai with her family)came in with a delightful smelling dish with pourris & said I've made this for you - spicy cabbage - then left. So, even though I hate cabbage, it smelled so good, I thought i would taste it. Scooped up with the pourris, the dish was nothing short of fantastic - we ate the lot! Our dinner party was a little short lived - we could only manage the odd mouthful.
Here it is courtesy of Anna dictating to my wife ( Mrs Ghoulie)
2 large white onions
I white cabbage
fry in oil. then add
2 green chillies
3 medium tomatoes
1 Maggi chicken stock cube
1/2 teaspoon tumeric
1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
3/4 glass water
pourris, 3 glasses wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, water for dry dough consitency, roll out to 5mm thickness - fry in hot deep oil.
The quantities I know are slightly vague - but that's my wifes hurried dictation. Anna couldn't see what the fuss was about.
enjoy it - I certainly still do
