Cabbage With Paneer and Tomato (Bund Gobhi Paneer)
"Adapted from: 660 Curries by Raghavan Iyer. Great book! I really enjoyed this made mild but would increase the spices. If you like it hot but don't have fresh peppers, use crushed red pepper flakes."

This is a great vegetarian curry. We had it as our main dish, but would make a good side in an Indian spread. I used the max amount of spices stated-- and glad I did. I might have even heaped some of the teaspoons. I would likely fry the cumin seeds separately next time, along with the chilis, and then add the powder spices. Also- small tip from my mom on cabbage curries: When cooking cabbage- stir once to coat cabbage and then leave it to wilt on it's own without stirring. This somehow keeps the sweet cabbage juices within the cabbage, making for a more flavorful dish at the end. I recommend this dish to anyone who likes Indian food, cabbage and paneer! I will be having leftovers for lunch. Thanks Engrossed!
