About this dish

Fermented chilli, curry leaf, toasted rice.

Cabbages are quartered and go cut-face-down onto the grill bars until the outer leaves are genuinely burnt. Those leaves stay on — they are seasoning, not waste.

Cashew cream is soaked overnight and blended with the fermented chilli we keep in crocks by the pass. Curry leaf is fried and crumbled over; toasted rice gives it the grit.
