Topic: spicy cabbage

[Ghoulie]

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
