Cabbage with Red Chilli and Tamarind Dressing

Another cabbage recipe...yes its our green veg of choice, or the choice of green veg we have, luckily we like it and it's good for you.  We served this side dish with Thai Soya and Green Peas in Coconut and brown coconut rice, the spicy, tart, salty flavours are very satisfying.
