Cabbage Potato Curry- Stir Fried cabbage and Potato curry -specialty from Bengal
Cabbage Potato Curry -Today I am posting my children’s favorite cabbage and potato curry.I learned this from my neighbor whose mother-in-law was a Bengali.I am not sure whether this is an authentic Bengali recipe or her own creation.
But it taste just awesome and I am sure you all will love this delicious curry which goes well with roti and rice both.
This Bengali style Curry recipe is quite different then the usual recipe of making cabbage curry. Usually we just chop cabbage and add in the tempering and cook. But for making this curry first the cabbage is chopped finely .
After chopping it is added in the tempering and stir fried till the cabbage turn slight brown at the edges. The real taste of this curry comes from the roasted cabbage so do it properly. Then tomatoes are added and cooked till soft and pulpy.
