Saute for a while until the shallots turn transparent.
Add cabbage and salt.
Sprinkle water.
Close the pan with the lid and allow to cook for five minutes over a low flame.

Mix well in low flame and set aside.

Now heat the idli steamer with three cups of water. Bring to boil.
Pour one tablespoon of idli batter into each greased idli moulds.
