Spicy Cabbage Curry.
Spicy cabbage curry or bandha kobi tarakari is an authentic oriya side dish .The very first curry prepared from cabbage I tasted is it .It is one of the tastiest curry prepared by my mom so I copied the same recipe from her .I prepare exactly the same way my mom prepares it but the only difference is I prefer to add some more vegetables than my mom used.My mom was preparing it in winter as in earlier days only seasonal vegetables were preferable and cabbage was available in winter when I was a kid.In winter it tastes great as the fresh cabbage used in it makes it of excellent taste.
When I was in high school I tried to cook it once when my mom was ill and my way of cookin earlier was , I will take the spice powder container to my mom and ask her how much amount I have to put as I was very much conscious about the taste and , always want to taste the dish prepared by my mom.this way I started and inherited the same recipe from my mom.We three sisters as kids enjoyed having it with plain paranthas.This curry tastes awesome with paranthas.
Here comes the authentic one with some little differences like adding peanuts in stead of green peas and adding carrots.Let me tell you one thing my mom was only using cabbage , green peas, brinjal and potato and it was yummy .As in Chennai green peas are rarely available I replaced it with peanut as the crunchy taste we like very much.
