I had this huge cabbage sitting in my refrigerator and we were getting tired of eating different types of cabbage curries. Then I remembered that my sister's mother-in-law (who is, by the way, a great cook) makes chutney out of cabbage and so I made a quick call, got the recipe and made it for dinner. To give it a twist, I added a little tomato. I am glad I had this idea in mind. Reactions at home?? It is anybody's guess ..I mixed it in Yogurt(Curd) and I loved it with chapatis for dinner!
