Green Peas and Cabbage Palya

Palya is a side dish prepared with all varieties of vegetables. This is a dry dish which can be mixed with rice and eaten, or can be eaten with chappathis. Most people eat Palya with the Rice and Saaru(Rasam), or Rice and Huli as a side dish. For me its a best diet food because it hardly needs any oil and masala. Because you stir fry them it retains all its nutrients and tastes really good at a same time. Here is a recipe for preparing Cabbage and Green peas Palya.
