Note:

Cabbage must be cooked well so that it mixes well with spice. You can also add a spoon of butter instead of fresh cream. I have added the cream from the milk. ( From the top of just boiled milk).
You can add more chilly if you wish. Using garlic and onions is purely optional. You can also use fresh coconut while grinding. If you are using onions, fry onions and grind along with grinding masala or fry along with ground masala.
