New type Cabbage curry

This curry is guaranteed to get you a praise. Everybody likes it when I make except my kids because they stopped liking it since now it is my husbands favorite, so I make it often and they don't like ginger but if I put a dollop of yogurt on top, while serving, they really love it.
