Baked Cabbage in Tomato Onion Gravy
by Tarla Dalal
A unique and appealing preparation of cabbages, halved and baked in a spicy onion-tomato gravy, topped with juicy green peas and of course, loads of cheese and cream.
It is interesting to note that unlike most dishes in which cabbage is used in shredded form, here it is kept as halves with only the central hard portion removed.
The gravy gives the dish a wonderfully tangy and spicy flavour, while the cheese and cream give the Baked Cabbage in Tomato Onion Gravy a rich mouth-feel. Enjoy this dish right out of the oven!
If you want to round out the meal serve along with Carrot and Spinach Soup and pasta .
