Cabbage Stir Fry Recipe

This cabbage stir fry recipe is one of the best and simple side dishes you could whip up on a busy night! It's full of Indian flavors and you get a bite of freshness each time! 

Need a little mid-week dinner inspiration?

Growing up, I used to hate cabbage! I mean seriously was there anything worse than coming home to your mom whipping up a plate of cabbage.... Nope. It was awful.Fast forward about 30 years and now it's one of my favorite Indian side dishes! If you need any convincing that this is indeed a delicious vegetarian side dish, MY KIDS ARE OBSESSED! They love having this to pair with KEEMA CURRY during the week. It adds a bit of crunch to the meal and lightens a dense meal.Still don't believe me? My super duper extra picky husband even likes it! Now, I don't think I will be converting my family to vegetarians anytime soon, but serve this with a tasty Indian main dish and you have one happy family! [amd-yrecipe-recipe:46]

Family Fridays #11 Cabbage Subzi

Today is our tenth family Fridays! Ketaki is here to share her family with all of you! She is a lifestyle blogger and has been such a loyal reader here! I'm so excited to introduce all of you to her and her family recipe!

Share a bit about the recipe and why it’s special to your family or your spouse/partner’s family.

This recipe is not special, but it's quintessential in the Mehta household. My husband adores cabbage and we make it every week for lunch. I can make it with my eyes are closed.

The days I make this subzi, my husband messages me with, "Yummy" or  "Good Food."

Tell us a bit about your family and what makes them unique.

I am a Maharashtrian married into a Gujarati family. We are a small family consisting of my in-laws, my husband and myself.My family gives me constant support so I can pursue my career.

Despite all our differences, we share the love of food, especially my husband and I.

It has been almost two years since we were married and I have learned a lot from my MIL, especially making gujarati food. Now, I'm trying out my hand at baking and making chocolates too.

Recipe: 

1 1/4cups of cabbage (chinese style or finely chopped according to preferences)

2 boiled potatoes (diced)

1 large tomato (diced)

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp cumin seeds

2 tsp turmeric powder

3 tsp coriander powder
