• Note:
• In this dish many people add water,but I don’t. Because cabbage has lot of water inside,as soon as you will add salt the cabbage starts leaving water. So the dish cook on cabbage’s natural water and steam created inside, just be patient and careful about the burn.
• If you add water, your cooking might be easier but the cabbage becomes limp and lose it’s natural flavour.
• So I don’t add water.
• Potato is optinal, but I add because gives a binding texture.
