indian spiced cabbage

One of our favourite dishes, this - especially when we’re in a hurry. The weather here has been quite warm recently, and neither perlmonger nor I are particularly keen to stand over the stove in that sort of weather.

Riverford brought us a pointy cabbage last week, so we turned it into Indian Spiced Cabbage - you can make this from a standing start in less than half an hour, if you want rice with it. About 20 minutes if you don’t.

Somehow, we never expect it to work, because of the frying of the yellow split peas, but it does, and it’s delicious. Fab for vegans too.

This recipe comes from Madhur Jaffrey’s World Vegetarian Cookery, an excellent tome.

It’s quick and simple to cook - served with basmati rice, it takes about 30 minutes from start to plate. And it’s delicious!

perlmonger and I cooked a charmingly retro supper last night, of brown rice and lentils. I wish we could say we donned sandals and kaftans while preparing and consuming it, but sadly no.

P is very good at dhal, and this one was delicious. I remain to be convinced about brown rice, but I’m too anti food waste to throw it away, and I have found a way to cook it where it’s ok, if not delicious.

In keeping with the theme of the evening, we found an episode of The Professionals on the Tivo. Nostalgia ensued - what where those round soda syphons called? So many Capris! Great fun.
