We just love Cabbage, as it is the unsung hero in our kitchens! Why? Well, for starters, it has a long shelf-life in the fridge and we use it when all other vegetables are finished! The other reason is that it is a vegetable that cooks fast, so it’s great to have on hand when you have little time to prepare a meal. Cabbage is a versatile vegetable that can be backed, steamed, sautéed and boiled AND last but not the least, it is a cruciferous vegetable that is packed with vitamins from A all the way to Z…phew!
This Cabbage Poriyal Dish is from South India and again, like a lot of other dishes from there, there is classic use of Curry Leaves and Coconut Oil and Fresh Shredded Coconut. We love the simplicity of this dish with minimal spices and the true flavors of the Cabbage shining. Enjoy this Bandh Gobi Subzi as a side with Rice and Dal or Curries or enjoy it with some hot Chapatis or Rotis.
