How to make Cabbage chutney with step by step images

Chop cabbage and keep it aside. Heat oil in a pan add channa dal and urad dal. When dal turns golden brown add red chilli and garlic, when aromatic add tamarind and chopped cabbage. Saute well and add salt. Mix well and cook the cabbage without adding water.
When the cabbage looks cooked put off the flame and allow the mixture to cool down. Now transfer it to a blender and grind it into a little coarse paste adding little water. I used 1/3 cup water while grinding.
Heat oil in a small pan add mustard seeds, after it splutters add urad dal, after it turns golden brown add curry leaves and hing. Put off the flame and pour it over the chutney mixture and mix well. Serve it with idli or dosa.
