Cabbage Sannakotto

This is a spicy side dish prepared with shredded cabbage. This is a Konkani dish which goes very well with rice and saar upkari or dali thove. I have prepared this today and I think I should share this simple recipe with you. This sannakotto can also be prepared only with onions.

Ingredients:

2 cups of shredded cabbage

2 onions finely chopped

1 cup grated coconut

1 cup rice soaked in water

One half-cup toor daal soaked in water

A small piece of tamarind

6-7 red chillies

Salt to taste

Method

Wash and soak the rice and toor dal for half an hour. Chop the onions and cabbage into very small pieces and set aside. Grind together red chillies, tamarind, and half of the grated coconut to form a thick paste. To this paste add the rice and toor dal and grind to form a coarse batter. To this mixture, add the onions, cabbage, rest of the grated coconut and salt to taste and mix well.

Now grease a deep dish and pour the cabbage and rice mixture. Cook in pressure cooker without weight for 20 minutes like we do for idlis. Once it is cool, cut the cabbage sannakotto into square pieces. Serve this hot spicy cabbage sannakotto with coconut oil. This is a perfect spicy side dish, which goes well with rice and dal.
