Purple Cabbage Curry

Purple cabbage is a good source of water-soluble vitamin C. From just one cup of raw cabbage, you'll get 67 percent of the vitamin C you need daily. Your immune system needs vitamin C to function well. We can also use purple cabbage in salads and burgers.  
I posted a burger recipe using purple cabbage some time back over here:      http://dailymeals.blogspot.in/2007/09/banana-vada.html
