Notes
- If you are not using a boiled potato, add little water, let the potatoes cook, and make sure there is no water left in the pan when you add cabbage, peas and tomatoes.
- The cabbage, and tomatoes will release water once you add the salt, and it will be sufficient to cook the shaak.
- Adding extra water will make this sabzi very gloopy and it will not pick up any flavors.
- Your cabbage should be just cooked. Try not over cook it. Over cooked cabbage often becomes very mushy and it doesn't taste good.
