Kobichi Bhaaji (2)

As a kid, cabbage was not exactly my favorite. but as my tastebuds and I grew, I think I started liking cabbage more. Mom generally made two types of kobichi bhaaji for our lunchbox. One was with addition of chana daal and the other was with potato and/or green peas. I personally like cabbage + Potato + green peas combo more than just cabbage and potato.
