Cabbage

When I was a kid I really did not enjoy eating cabbage. It was one of those vegetables I used to bring back home when mom used to give us in the tiffin. But now its a totally different story...I eat most of the vegetables and I wonder why I really did not liked this particular vegetable when I was small... Today I made a very simple recipe of cabbage and it tastes really good. It goes well with rice and dal or even with rotis.
