A simple yet delicious, everyday vegetable- something my husband absolutely loves. Cabbage and potatoes- sort of sounds like something you could cook anytime of the year , specially in the UK.

This is  especially eaten in any Puja or festivities alongwith Roti, Luchi (Poori), Rice, Khichdi and forms part of the bhog that’s offered.
