Cabbage Lemon Rice

The cabbage is a green, leafy plant that forms part of the Brassicaceae family. Other members of this family include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, collards, cauliflower and kale. The leafy portion of the cabbage is generally the only portion of the plant that is eaten, either raw, cooked..Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamins K and C. Cabbage is also a very good source of dietary fiber, manganese, vitamin B6 and folate, and a good source of thiamin, riboflavin, calcium, potassium, vitamin A, tryptophan, protein and magnesium...Green cabbage is the most common type of cabbage, however you also get savory cabbage, napa cabbage, bok choy and red cabbage. Usually i prepare curries with cabbages but never as cabbage lemon rice...its really very simple, quick also easiest one..



2cups Cabbage pieces
1no Onions Chopped
2nos Green chillies slit opened

1/4tsp Mustard seeds
1/4tsp Urad dal
