Cabbage gravy for rice ( Muttaikose Kuzhambu in Tamil) was new to me until I saw in Sashi’s recipes. I have heard about cabbage sambar and kurma from my friend Shalini. But this is Kongunadu style kurma kulambu recipe adding freshly ground masala. It came out very well and tasted good with rice, dosa and chapathi as well. As I am a big fan of cabbage kurma recipes, I loved it very much. But to my surprise, my husband Sendhil who hates cabbage loved this gravy very much with rice. So I have made this muttaikose kuzhambu thrice so far. He ate it every time without any complaints. To make this kuzhambu, I tweaked the original recipe slightly and reduced the spice level as per my family’s taste. After trying this, I got the courage to try cabbage sambar & cabbage kurma for chapathi learning from my friend Shalini Winking

. Soon I will try and post them in my space. Friends If you like to try varieties of cabbage recipes at home, do try this kuzhambu. You will love it for sure. Lets see how to make cabbage gravy for rice with step by step pictures.

Generally South Indians, Tamil people make onion uttapam at least once in a week with leftoverIdli, dosa batter. Sendhil likes to eat onion uthappam or rava dosa in hotels and restaurants whereas my choice is always plain uthappam with varieties of side dishes. I love its soft and spongy texture.I have already shared few uthappam varieties like tomato onion uthappam , Kadai onion uthappam(my MIL’s style)and Podi uthappam in my space. But this is the basic version of onion uttapam using big onions. We call it as Vengaya dosai in Tamil. Mostly I make it for breakfast during week days as I don’t have to prepare any side dish for this. Sendhil loves to eat it as such if the onions are browned perfectly. For variations and to make it more colorful, sometimes I use small onions, finely chopped green chillies, coriander leaves or grated carrot. If you want to make any side dish for onion uthappam, you can try coconut chutney, tomato chutney or idli sambar. Uthappam tastes the best and comes out soft, spongy with crispy edges only if you make it with fresh, thick idli batter.Do not add water to the thick If the batter becomes watery, uttapam becomes flat. So to make soft and spongy uthappam, mix the fermented idli batter till half way through on the first day for making idli. By doing this way, soft urad dal batter gets mixed with rice batter evenly and helps to prepare soft idli dosa on the first day, soft uthappam on the second, third day too. For making crispy dosa, remove the required batter in another bowl, add very little water to it. Mix well and spread thin dosa. Ok, lets see how to make onion uttapam recipe with step by step pictures.
