The Bangla Thali looks amazing , and that cabbage Sabzi looks absolutely delicious. The spice mix is simple but will add a wonderful flavour to the Sabzi.
This is yet another delicious way to use cabbage Harini..very nice one..
I love the flavor profile of this curry. The spices add a magic to this curry and an amazing recipe featuring cbbage and potatoes.
This Bengali curry with those simple flavors surely makes a filling side dish.
