Thanks for visiting my blog. Reg. this curry, more than the curry, I was intrigued by the knife. I have not seen that anywhere. It must be so easy to cut especially cabbage.

Hi Madhuram,
Yes, the knife is very useful for cutting all kinds of vegetables easily. I had brought it from India.

Priya, I loved this recipe. Can you recommend something to serve with this dish? Something vegetarian-- like a chana or daal that would pair well with the coconut curry for a nice meal? Thanks!

Thanks for your comment. Generally we make daal sambar with any vegetables for rice as a main dish, and this cabbage fry can be served as a side dish. You can find the recipe for vegetable sambar here: http://vishnucooks.blogspot.com/2009/01/vegetable-sambar-kailol-sambar.html
