Red cabbage Beetroot curry

I had this curry in a restaurant and was so suprised by the combination of vegetables. I have never cooked red cabbage and this curry gave me a chance to try that. This is such a healthy dish which can be had with plain rice or rotis. As for me, I liked it more with curd rice.

I do not know if this is the right name for this curry as it had another ingredient ...red chori. I thought if I include that also, then the name would become too big. Anyway, If anyone else out there does this curry and knows the name ,please let me know too. I'll be really thankful for that.

Ingredients:
Beetroot- 1 (medium, cut into strips)
red cabbage- 1 cup(shredded)
Red chori- 3 tbsp (cooked)
onion- 1/2(small,chopped)
green chillies- 2(chopped)
coconut-2 tbsp(shredded)
curry leaves

Procedure:
Heat oil in kadai and fry mustard seeds,urad dal and channa dal. Then add onions and cook till transparent. Now add beetroot, green chillies and some salt. Add very little water. Cover and cook until beet is almost done. Then add red cabbage and stir fry until done. Finally add cooked red chori,coconut, required salt and curry leaves. Blend everything together.

Red Chori Curry

This is another curry I do regularly . There are two versions : gravy type and dry type. The gravy type is similar to 'puli kuzhambu'. The dry version can be eaten as a evening snack or as a side item for rice. I'm not good in giving a nice write-up about the recipes I'm blogging. But this curry tastes really good. You will agree with me once you try this.

Gravy Type:

Ingredients:
red chori- 1 1/2 cups
onion- 1(medium,chopped)
brinjal-3(cut lengthwise)
tomato-1(medium,chopped)
chilli powder- 1 tsp
corriander powder- 2 tsp
cumin powder- 1/2 tsp
turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp
tamarind paste- 1 1/2 tsp
curry leaves
coconut milk- 1/4 cup


Procedure:
Soak red chori overnight and cook it with some salt and turmeric powder. Heat oil in kadai and fry mustard seeds & urad dal. Then fry onions and brinjal until half done. Now add tomato, curry leaves and all the masala powders. Fry until raw smell goes. Then put tamarind paste, required salt and the water used to boil chori. Bring it to a nice boil. When the brinjal is cooked add chori and coconut milk. Allow it to boil for one more time and switch off gas. Serve with hot rice.

Dry Curry:
Ingredients:
Red Chori- 1 cup (cooked)
onion- 1/2 (small,chopped)
red chillies- 2 (broken)
curry leaves- few
grated coconut- 3 to 4 tbsp
