It is usually made with lentils and onions, but I have used cabbage and fennel here. On a rare occasion I ended up with fennel bulbs and had no clue what to do with them. After a bit of back and...]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/09/fennel-cabbage-masala-vadai.html/feed 0 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/01/clear-vegetable-soup.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/01/clear-vegetable-soup.html#comments Sun, 25 Jan 2015 05:30:32 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=19035 This is a simple and healthy vegetable soup that we used to have when we were kids. As mentioned in my old posts, this was the only soup known to me at that time. It is a neat way to get the goodness of veggies into kids. Thinking about it now, it is pretty similar to...]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/01/clear-vegetable-soup.html/feed 0 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/02/chinese-vegetable-soup-hot-and-sour-soup.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/02/chinese-vegetable-soup-hot-and-sour-soup.html#comments Sun, 10 Feb 2013 17:00:40 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=9877 The weather has been perfect for this soup. A high of mid 50s followed by a blizzard watch sounded weird to me and I was looking out to see if we were really going to get the predicted snow. Well, it finally happened and in a matter of minutes the streets turned white. Now, that...]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/02/chinese-vegetable-soup-hot-and-sour-soup.html/feed 12 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/01/cabbage-soya-chunks-curry.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/01/cabbage-soya-chunks-curry.html#comments Thu, 17 Jan 2013 05:38:55 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=5787 If you are a fan of soya chunks, then do add this to your list of recipes to try. My mom makes this dish using potatoes and I chose to use soya chunks instead. It is very easy to put together and perfect for those lazy days. Be careful with the fennel seeds as too...]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/01/cabbage-soya-chunks-curry.html/feed 10 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/09/cabbage-broccoli-rice.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/09/cabbage-broccoli-rice.html#comments Fri, 28 Sep 2012 14:31:11 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=5630 Inspired by the capsicum rice, I decided to try out the rice with cabbage and broccoli. Like certain things need to be kept in certain places in the house, I have this notion of making specific things with some vegetables and rarely look beyond that. When I think of cabbage, it is always a simple...]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/09/cabbage-broccoli-rice.html/feed 3 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/08/cabbage-pakoda-cabbage-fritters.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/08/cabbage-pakoda-cabbage-fritters.html#comments Fri, 31 Aug 2012 05:30:26 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=4023 Deep fried snacks seem to be most people’s favorite and our house is no exception. Even this evening I had a request for ribbon pakodas from K along with the complaint that I am not making anything nice. In this case, “nice” translates to deep fried stuff or basically something rich and loaded with calories....]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/08/cabbage-pakoda-cabbage-fritters.html/feed 11 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/05/purple-cabbage-poriyal-curry.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/05/purple-cabbage-poriyal-curry.html#comments Fri, 20 May 2011 03:50:49 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=12791 I am here with the dish my son loves a lot. There is something about this purple cabbage that attracts him so much and I think it has a lot to do with color. This paired with rasam is an ultimate comfort food for him and is often on the menu. I just change the...]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/05/purple-cabbage-poriyal-curry.html/feed 1
