Kobi chi bhaji | cabbage (patta gobi) chana dal bhaji

Kobi means cabbage in marathi.This sabji can be prepared by adding potato or split bengal gram dal (chana dal) or you can even add a combo of both potato & chana dal .If using chana dal soak it in lukewarm water for 1 hr prior .here i have mentioned adding both chana dal & potato you can add either as per your liking .

Personally I dont like cabbage sabji so I  try to eat  it in other forms  such as cabbage paratha ,cabbage chutney ,cabbage pachadi .
