2. Pressure cook the cabbage and moong dal with appropriate amount of water. Cook for 3 whistles.
3. Grind the coconut, cumin seeds and the red chilles with little water to make it into a paste.
4. After the cabbage is done, add a little water, and heat the mixture on medium flame.
5. Add 2 spoons of sambar powder and salt.
6. Add the paste to this mixture and allow it to boil till a proper consistency is obtained.
