About

I love cooked cabbage, and in this curry, I especially enjoy its al dente, noodle-like texture against the surprising citrus-crunch of stir-fried coriander seeds. The balance of bitter fenugreek seeds and aromatic fenugreek leaves proves that siblings can co-exist harmoniously, even with disparate personalities.
