I like this recipe - a dal paste filling for cabbage rolls that are steamed, then sliced, then fried. This method of steaming then frying is very common in #IndianFood (particularly snacks), and also very delicious.

#SabitaRadhakrishna in her book #Annapurni, has a similar recipe, but she makes a ground lentil mixture (chana dal, toor dal and urad dal), and mixes in cabbage, onions, chillies and coriander, After steaming, it is cut into squares and fried for snacks, or the unfried squares can be used in any vegetable curry.
