Cabbage with Peas (Bund gobi aur matar) Review

4 stars (on a 5 star scale) p. 140 Simple, easy to make, fast, and fairly good, or what I would imagine would be fairly good if it weren't slightly too spicy. I used one jalapeno chile, seeds and all. Next time, I should use less. I only used 2/3rds of a cabbage--the rest of the cabbage wouldn't fit in my large frying pan. The cabbage shrunk substantially as it cooked. Cutting cabbage into long strips was easy: simply slice it in one direction like an onion, then the layers peel apart easily into strips. I don't understand why the recipe calls for a large quantity of oil. I used much less with no difficulty.

I have a copy of her "Quick and Easy Indian Cooking". Every recipe I've made in it has been great. It takes me a long time to make a dish the first time, so "quick" isn't always true, but the "easy" part has been so far.
