If any of our visitors here have noticed some missing posts/comments, erratic behavior in the past 24-48 hrs, it is due to some maintenance issues with the Blogger and we hope that the issues will be resolved as soon as possible. Moving on to the details of this post..
This combination of cabbage and cauliflower used to be my childhood favorite and Amma used to make it frequently (as often as there they were available). She still does prepare it (I guess!!). The only addition in my version is probably the ginger and coconut. Usage of coconut in my parent's house is a very restricted affair.
My dad is allergic to coconut (or so he claims!) so Amma cleverly sneaks it in and my dad rarely realizes the presence of coconut. Even today when he has any problems with his digestion he blames on the food he eats and as per his habit asks amma if she has sneaked in coconut, much to amma'samusement irritation :) [Made for each other??? ;)]

I too love cabbage - cauliflower - coconut curry.
And ditto with my husband regarding the coconut. My husband claims it as allergy but I think he has more aversion towards the smell and he can detect it even if used in small quantities. And I love coconut. Life is not fair. :)
Never mixed these 2 before. That looks beautiful and colorful.
Wonderful combo, prefect side dish for rotis, i love coconut very much, but am controlling myself to use them often..
I love cauliflower..I usually make gobi fry but this is a great idea
Looks like a super easy dish to make. This with hot rice would be such a hit!
unusual combination...looks like a must try
Delicious curry and easy to make. yummy
