Cabbage Kofta Curry
 
 
Cabbage Kofta curry is a fine mughlai dish with less fat combined with cabbage and channa dal made in spiced yoghurt saucy gravy. Cabbage is used for mainly making of soups and stews and also is eaten as salad. Cabbage has a long history and useful both as food and medicine.
 
It was mainly developed from wild cabbage, a vegetable closer in appearance to collards and kale since it was composed of leaves. It is thought that wild cabbage was brought to Europe around 600 B.C by group of Celtic wanderers and was grown in Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations.
 
There are many varieties of cabbage based on shape and time of maturity. Cabbages grown late in autumn and in the beginning of winter are called coleworts; their leaves do not form a compact head. "Colewort" may also refer to a young cabbage. The word comes from Latin caulis (stalk of a plant, cabbage) and Old English wyrt (herb, plant, root). Cabbages are also a good source of riboflavin. Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin C and also contains significant amounts of glutamine, an amino acid that has anti-inflammatory properties.
Cabbage is one of the most important vegetable used in dieting programs, as it is a low calorie food.
 
Cabbage kofta curry is delicious, healthy and not too spicy curry. Preparing the curry is very simple and easy to cook. To make the koftas, firstly finely chop the cabbage and add in boiling water in a pan, add channa dal and cook till 70% done. Once done, drain the water from the cabbage and channa dal through a muslin cloth and keep the water aside. This water can be used in making the sauce.
 
In a bowl add the cabbage and channa dal, add pinch of shahi jeera, red chilli powder, chopped green chillies, salt, little besan flour and mix all to form a nice dough. Make small balls of it and deep fry the koftas (balls) on slow heat and keep aside once they turn slightly brown.
 
For preparing the yoghurt gravy, heat Heat some oil in the pan, add shahi jeera and then onion, little salt and cook the onions till they are slightly brown then add the turmeric and ginger garlic paste, when ginger garlic paste is cooked add the reserved water to it then add the red chilli powder, coriander powder and cumin powder and mix well and then add the whisked yoghurt to it and bring it to nice boil till gravy is cooked. The gravy is done when the froth disappears completely.
 
Add little cashew nut powder to further thicken the gravy to a nice consistency. To enhance more flavors to the curry, add dried mint powder. The Cabbage kofta curry is ready to serve. Best with roti, chappati, pulao, rice. The curry gives a nice minty, sweet and spicy flavors.
It’s truly a mixed combination of all flavors and delicious too.
 
Cabbage has good medicinal properties and in European folk medicine, cabbage leaves were used to treat acute inflammation. A paste of raw cabbage was placed in a cabbage leaf and wrapped around the affected area to reduce discomfort. Some claim it is effective in relieving painfully engorged breasts in breastfeeding women. Fresh cabbage juice has been shown to promote rapid healing of peptic ulcers.
 
Cabbage may also act as a goitrogen. It blocks organification in thyroid cells, thus inhibiting the production of the thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine). The result is an increased secretion of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) due to low thyroid hormone levels. This increase in TSH results in an enlargement of the thyroid gland (goiter).
