Cabbage stir fry prepared in the regular way, but the spices I induced here is medicinal, which is good for sore throat, dry cough, indigestion and cold. Summer causes more and more sweat which results in cold and throat irritation for kids. My son loves to have food mostly with non-veg, so I have added prawns/Shrimps to this recipe.
