Patta Gobi Sabzi (Cabbage Stir fry) Vegan, glutenfree.

Now lets talk about Cabbage. A Quick Indian side Cabbage subzi(any side veggie dish is called a sabzi/subzi, usually dry stir fry kind). We use green cabbage for this subzi. You can add other veggies too. I think I am going to make this with chopped up Brussels sprouts next.

Patta Gobi Sabzi (Cabbage Stir fry)

Easy Cabbage stir fry with mustard seeds and split lentils. Vegan Indian gluten-free Soy-free Recipe

Total 30 minutes

Ingredients

2-2.5 cups cabbage finely chopped
1 teaspoon organic canola oil or mustard or sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
1 teaspoon chopped green chili or to taste
3 cloves of garlic chopped
a generous pinch of asafoetida (hing)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 Tablespoon of split lentils of choice (not whole(urad daal-black gram, chana-bengal gram or toor- pigeon pea))
2/3 teaspoon salt or to taste

Instructions

1
In a large pan, add oil and heat at medium.
2
Add mustard seeds when hot and mix for a few seconds.
3
Add asofetida(hing), garlic and chili and cook for a minute.
4
Add the lentils/daals and cook for a minute or so, until the lentils and garlic turn golden. Sometimes I soak the lentils for 5 minutes before adding for a non smoky taste. You can skip the lentils and add half teaspoon of cumin and coriander seeds.
5
Add turmeric powder and cabbage and mix well.
6
Cook covered on low heat for 5 minutes.
7
Stir, add salt and cook partially covered for 10+ minutes, stirring occassionally, until cooked to your preference(also depends on the size of the chopped cabbage).
8
For variations, add peas, chopped carrots or boiled potato, to the cabbage when you add salt. Or change up the spices, use cumin seeds or fennel or just a little garam masala!
9
Serve hot topped with fresh cilantro or coconut flakes, as a side with Daal soups and Roti or Naan-Indian flat bread or Rice.
