Vegetarian Recipes
Vegetarian Curry with Stir-Fried Cabbage
Vegetarian curry and stir-fried cabbage can be served with basmati rice and papadams as condiments. Papadams are a thin, crisp, disc-shaped Indian food made from lentils, black gram, chickpeas, and rice flour. This dish is very simple to cook and is filled with nutrients.
As with most of the dishes where rice is involved, I will be using basmati rice because it is gluten free and low in fat, and it tastes sensational.
