Notes :

• I generally use, chopped ginger and garlic in this curry, if u want u can use ginger garlic paste.
• Instead of using microwave, In a vessel, add cabbage, chana dal, 1 cup water, turmeric powder, little salt and cook till cabbage is half cooked. Drain the left over water and use.
  If u want to add more spicy to curry at-last, u can add red chilli powder, only thing is the curry color changes to little red.
