Cabbage n Peas Vege or better called Bandha Kopir Choka ( in bengali), prepared in the authentic bengali method goes well with Luchi/Porota/Ruti/Rice n Dal.

My mom always insists not to add any spice like jeera n dhania powder save a dash of freshly grated ginger and green chillis, jeera, a bit of haldi, de-seeded tomatoes and boiled peas. Words couldn't simply describe the taste unless you prepare and have it :)

This is hoe I made it:

Take a green cabbage. Pull off the outer leaves and discard 1 layer.

With a long knife, cut the head in half through the core.

Keep one half on the cutting board, core on the left side

and start cutting vertically into very thin slice.

Discard the white core portion, take only the leafy part of the cabbage.

Repeat the above process on the other half.

Put the cabbage into water and boil it for half a minute and drain the water.

Take a kadai and heat two table spoon of oil.

Add jeera seeds, grated ginger ( half tbl spn), 2 boiled potatoes cut into cubes and saute it for a min.

Add haldi, salt, sugar ( 1 tea spn), 2 green chillis, 2 de-seeded tomatoes, 1 cup boiled peas and cook it for 5 mins.

Cover the Kadai and let it cook for another 5 mins until the cabbage becomes tender.

Server hot with hand made roti, or better with Fulko Fulko luchi !!
