Dal Powder & Cabbage Fry (With Dal Powder)

Normally I used to do cabbage fry with onions and green chillies as plain and some times with moong dal,"Cabbage Moongdal Fry". Once my friend Tanuja told me about this recipe. i tried her variation, hmmm....its yummy and wonderful taste. Normally when we prepare a fry dish, will use it as a side dish and will prepare one more curry or sambar like..., but this recipe is a fry but need not to prepare any other curry etc., . Because when we use this dal powder, we can mix with rice as a curry. In preparation, this is fry type, but in use this is curry type. Just give a try, then let you know. This powder, I prepared and store in a air tight container. We can use this powder in any other fry like Bhendi fry, palak fry and also you can use as combo for Idlis. Thanks Tanu.
