Hi, cabbage rolls belong to pondicherry cuisine, indo-french  fusion food.  Traditionally, cabbage leaves are cooked in hot water, filling with unusual stuffing of cooked rice, minced meat, beef or pork along with selected seasonings.  You can also update it with grated steamed vegetables or scrambled eggs... So, off to recipe
