Cabbage Gravy /Muttaikose Kulambu
This is how exactly we prepare the Chicken Kulambu in Kongunadu. We don’t normally eat Non-Veg during the month of Puratasi. So we make substitues for chicken during that period. This recipe is a substitute of Chicken Curry Kulambu. Cabbage can also be replaced with Mushroom or Potato. Home made Curry Masala is the plus here, it gives the extra flavor and also a unique taste.

Hi…recipes are really good. i have a doubt in this one..Do we need to fry the tomato or just add it before grinding? and do we need to use the standard teaspoon? bcz the masala pwd measurements looks too much and very spicy.
one of good recipy
Thanks for sharing our kongu nadu recipes. I tried spinach dal, it came out very good.. Cabbage turned out to be little spicy due to chilli size ;). Could you please how much water content needed to be added. While preparing I was confused whether I need to add water or not. As a bachelor, I just blindly follow the steps ;).. Thanks one again…
Thanks Suresh for pointing out !! I updated the recipe, add 1cup of water!!
