Preparation

1
First thing you do is wash the dates & keep them aside to dry, use paper towel to take excess moisture off.

In a pan stir fry your chopped onion til it turns golden brown ( i prefer to use red onions as they caramelize better), add seasoning of garam masala, salt, turmeric powder & tomatoes (again finely chopped), roast till the mixture becomes consistent. Take out this mixture in a bowl.
3
Take a nonstick pan, drizzle few drops of olive oil. Gently heat your Cabbage/Spinal leaves for few seconds, dont overheat, else they will become soggy & fall off, Take the leaves out spread them on a plate.
4
Layer the curried mixture on the leaves, throw in a 1 full date on to each curried leaf & roll it up, and heat the rolls for 30 seconds. The wonderful curried rolled dates are ready.
