Baked Cabbage Squares

Baked cabbage? I haven't tried this yet, but I'm very intrigued. The recipe is from Nita Mehta's Vegetarian Cooking.

• Ready In: 1 hr 8 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 3  cups  grated cabbage
• 1 1⁄2 cups chickpea flour
• 1  teaspoon  finely chopped gingerroot
• 1⁄2 cup  oil, plus
• 2  tablespoons  oil
• 1⁄2 cup  finely grated coconut or 1⁄2 cup  desiccated coconut
• 3  tablespoons fresh coriander
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons red chili powder
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1  tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

1. Except sesame seeds, mix all ingredients together to make a thick batter of pouring consistency.
2. Put in a greased medium-sized shallow baking dish to get 3/4" thick layer (a 9" square dish probably works best). Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
3. Bake at 180C/350F for 50-60 minutes til it turns brownish.
4. Cut into 1" squares only after it cools down. Serve at room temperature or warm in a microwave to serve.
