8-10 curry patta or meetha neem leaves
Salt to taste

How to make Cabbage Raita

  • Cut cabbage into thin, shot strips, like for coleslaw. I find that raw leaves taste better, but you can steam them for a minute in a microwave, making sure that they do not loose their crunch. Cool.
  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
  • Adjust seasoning.
  • Heat oil, add1/2 tsp. mustard seeds. When seeds splutter, add 5-6 curry leaves, stir and pour over the raita. Mix.
