Patta Gobhi Ki Sabzi | Cabbage Stir Fry
Description
Patta Gobhi Ki Sabzi starts with thinly sliced green cabbage combined with optional soaked moong dal. The dish can be prepared quickly in an Instant Pot set to sauté mode and then cooked briefly under pressure, or on the stovetop by sautéing the cabbage and spices in oil and cooking covered until tender but still retaining a slight bite. The seasoning includes cumin seeds, ground turmeric, red chili powder (or chopped green chili), and kosher salt. Combining these spices with oil and the natural sweetness of cabbage gives a mild but aromatic flavor profile.
The finished sabzi is garnished with chopped cilantro, contributing freshness. It pairs well as a side with Indian meals or can be served alongside rice or flatbreads. Variations can include additions like green peas, potatoes, tomato, or carrots for varied textures and flavors.
For texture preferences, cabbage can be chopped finely or more coarsely. Red chili powder can be omitted or adjusted according to heat tolerance. Including moong dal adds a slight contrast in texture and nutritional content.

- The red chili powder is optional and can be replaced with chopped green chili or omitted for less heat.

- Using red or savoy cabbage instead of green is also possible with similar cooking times.
