Ingredients
  

  • 1 KG finely chopped Cabbage
  • 2 Large Fish Heads, fried and broken into pieces
  • 4 chopped Onions
  • 2 minced Garlic cloves
  • Minced Ginger
  • Cumin, Cinnamon, Green Chillies
  • 2 tsp Garam Masala
  • 400 Gram Yellow Peas / Green Peas
  • 4 diced Potatoes
  • Oil, Salt, Turmeric

Instructions
 

  • Begin by placing the finely chopped cabbage and diced potatoes in a large bowl. Extract the green peas and set them aside.
  • Create a flavorful paste by blending together onions, garlic cloves, minced ginger, and finely chopped green chilies.
  • In a separate pan, fry the fish heads in hot oil until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Once fried, break the fish heads into small, bite-sized pieces using a Hemadasta or Silapua (traditional utensils for breaking fish).
  • Heat oil in a kadhai, add sugar, and stir until it caramelizes and turns red.
  • Introduce the masala paste to the kadhai, followed by the finely chopped cabbage and diced potatoes. Sauté the mixture until the vegetables are well-cooked and infused with the flavors of the masala.
  • Add the broken fish pieces, green peas, salt, turmeric, and Garam Masala to the kadhai. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Stir the mixture thoroughly, allowing the spices to coat the fish and vegetables.
  • Cook the curry until the cabbage is tender and the fish is fully cooked. The flavors should meld together beautifully.
  • Your Fish Head and Cabbage Curry is now ready to be served!
