3.       In a large bowl mix together the cabbage, onion, the prepared paste of dals and all the masalas.

 

4.       Add salt and oil along with coriander leaves and pour in the coconut milk.

 

5.       Mix all till incorporated well. Allow to stand for 15 – 20 min.

 

6.       Grease a baking tray. Just before you pour the mix add in the fruit salt to it. The mix will look bubbly and frothy.

 

7.       Now pour into the baking tray. Arrange tomato rings on top. Bake at 175°C for 30 min.

 

8.       By this time it would start leaving the sides and form light cracks on top.

 

9.       You can also make small cavities in the mix and break eggs individually alternating egg and tomato before baking.

10.   Remove and allow it to cool. As it cools it will start to firm up. Serve warm.

11.   You can also steam this mix. Cut into squares and as per your choice either you give tadka on top, shallow fry or deep fry them.
