Cabbage Potato Koora

Cabbage and Potato is a unique and delicious combination. Cabbage - a leafy vegetable, a rich source of Vitamin C in its raw or slightly cooked state. Potato - a starchy vegetable, rich in Vitamin B6 which is otherwise hard to get and a storehouse of minerals. Cooked properly these two vegetables can provide the best of health benefits. This simple and easy dish I learnt to make from my friend Roohi who is always looking for quick fixes. She just hates to spend too much time in the kitchen. In our college days, she cooked the most delicious yet simple meals in our hostel room. Cabbage -Aloo Sabji with rice was one of my favourites of her cooking. I have improvised a little to suite our chapathi eating lifestyle. Hope you guys enjoy this easy recipe.
