Notes
- It is best to buy a large head of cabbage so there are plenty of large leaves to work with as well as extra leaves in case something happens.
- You can use whatever combination of mashed potatoes, tofu, or panner your family prefers. Often, I make it with 100% paneer and peas because my family loves paneer and peas.
- Boiling the cabbage is an important step. Rolling these guys is much easier once they have boiled. Unboiled cabbage leaves are almost impossible to roll because they are stiff as a board.
- Chop the roots of the cabbage about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch above the surface after boiling. It will be easier to peel the leaves this way.
