I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less paprika next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cabbage, but this dish was surprisingly good. The spices really helped to balance out the bitterness of the cabbage.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The flavors were so complex and well-balanced. I loved the slight bitterness of the cabbage and the smokiness of the paprika. It was also really easy to make, which is always a bonus.
