As you might know, from time to time I invite friends to contribute their favourite recipes to this blog by way of a guest post. Today's Guest Post is from Sudha Rao who has shared her recipe for a satvik dish made of cabbage, (bandgobhi in Hindi), and potatoes ( alu in Hindi)

This is a dry dish which goes well with rotis. Recipe and picture: Courtesy Sudha Rao.
