Cabbage is the most flavorful vegetable in winter. This vegetable is available in Winter only. My dad brings the first cabbage of the Winter. He just loves the Bengali Cabbage Curry. This Curry goes well with Rice, Roti, Paratha, Puries. This is a regular Vegetable curry of almost every Bengali Family.

Directions to make Bandhakopir Dalna in steps

Steps

Soak the grated cabbage in cold water for 30 mins. After 30 min strain the cabbage with large strainer and keep aside.
Now heat oil in a pan and fry the potatoes till golden brown. In the same oil add bay leaf and cumin seeds and fry till cumin seeds start splutter.
When the cumin seeds start to splutter add chopped tomatoes and some salt to it and cover it to make the tomatoes pulpy.
In the mean time make a paste of ginger, turmeric, cumin, red chili powder. When the tomatoes get pulpy add the masala paste and fry till oil separates from masala. When oil starts separating from the masala add the green peas, fried potatoes and cabbages and mix them with the masala.
After mixing simmer the heat and cover the pan for 20 minutes to cook the cabbage and potatoes properly. After 20 minutes open the lid and you will see lots of water came from the cabbage.
So higher the heat and let all the water evaporate. When all the water evaporated add some sugar, ghee and garam masala.
