Cabbage and Cucumber Dry Sabzi
by Tarla Dalal
It is common to find cabbage and cucumber featuring together in a salad, but have you seen them together in a subzi? Well, this is an amazing find, really.
Try this all-new subzi that brings together cabbage and cucumber with green chilli paste and a traditional tempering. The Cabbage and Cucumber Dry Subzi is really mouth-watering and has a fascinating mouth-feel.
It is easy and very quick to prepare, but you must have it immediately after preparation because it tends to release water after some time.
