Cabbage Poriyal with Plain Roti

Somtimes you just have to make something so very simple and quick so as to make your life a little easier. This particular dish is one such dishes which is a very simple and a stand-by for me because it is such a no brainer and cabbage is one of those vegetables' which is always there in my fridge waiting for me.
        You can make your life much more easier by serving it with white rice and Khatti Dal or Sambar. As per me I am just serving it with Plain Roti. You can also make Roghni Roti or Kalonji Roti -Variations of the Roti
