This recipe for Indian sauerkraut casserole is an awfully nice variation on the Dutch sauerkraut stew. The spices give a lovely warm taste and combine well with the sour taste of cabbage.

Sports and works make that everyone has to eat at a different time slot. That's not a problem with this casserole. You can make smaller portions by making the casserole into a ramekin. So you can prepare and bake them at the right time.
Mash your potatoes so it will keep their structure. Should you use a mixer instead, you make potato glue.
