This recipe I learnt from my Andhra Friend. It is not the usual Cabbage Fry we do, as we are going to use coriander leaves paste which makes this cabbage fry so scrumptious. Normally cabbage gives an unpleasant odour when cooked. Many of us experience the unpleasant odour when we pack the cabbage for lunch and open it at the lunch time. But adding this coriander leaves paste the unpleasant odour goes off and the flavour and aroma of this fry would tempt us to have more and more.
