This is probably the best thing I have ever made. I tasted a bit at the end just to see if it needed anything and ended up consuming most it while it was still cooking. I doubled up on all the spices. I used some of the leftover cabbage in an omelet and it was great.

simple and tasty!! i subbed onion powder for the asafetida, and it worked out just fine! had to add a touch of water for cabbage to cook down. was very tasty! you can also add cauliflower, broccoili, etc for variations!

Oooh, this was SO good and so like my favorite place for Indian lunch near our home. I could eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner... easily. A perfect balance of flavors. My only changes were in the pepper department; I used 1/2 a jalapeno and 4 Japanese chiles. PERFECT! Thank you for posting this, Sana... it's now in my ~Encore~ cookbook!
