Cabbage Rolls, Steamed Cabbage Rolls with spicy Peanut Sauce

I am trying to incorporate healthy snacks into our menu for our hungry evenings. We love these steamed cabbage rolls with peanut sauce. Its a perfect snack for the evening that one can make in no time. Its a very healthy recipe as the cabbage rolls are steamed with a stuffing of veggies. I had written down this recipe long long time back from a TV show which was run by Mr.Hari Sankaran at that time. This recipe is such a winner. Its a guilt free snack as it has absolutely zero oil. Here is how to do steamed cabbage rolls with peanut sauce.

First lets make the cabbage rolls.
Gently seperate the leaves from the cabbage. Take 7-8 cabbage leaves and add it to boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Let it wilt. Remove and set aside to cool.

Gently remove the thick core from each of the leaf and cut the leaf into half. Set aside.

Now lets make a stuffing.
Take a bowl and add in the sliced potato, capsicum, coriander leaves and salt. Mix well. Set aside.

Take a tablespoon of stuffing and place it on the cabbage and make a roll. The folding is similar to that of a spring roll. Repeat with all the leaves.

Place the rolls in a steamer and steam for 10 minutes. The rolls are ready.

Now lets make the peanut sauce.

Boil tomato and dried red chillies in water for 10 minutes. Drain the water. Peel the skin of the tomatoes. Set aside. Take a mixie and add in the red chillies and the tomatoes. Add in the roasted peanuts, jaggery, garlic, vinegar and salt. Grind to a fine paste. The sauce is ready.

Serve the cabbage rolls with peanut sauce.
