Notes

  • In India, cabbage is chopped finely and the sabzi soft cooked. But you can also cut the cabbage coarsely or cook it just enough so it still has little bite and crunchy texture.
  • Red chili powder in this recipe can be skipped altogether or substituted with chopped green chili. Add more or less depending on your spice preference
  • This recipe also works with red/purple or savoy cabbage
  • Add a cup of green peas along with the cabbage for a delicious Cabbage with peas or Patta Gobhi Matar Ki Sabzi
  • Add a medium potato diced small along with the cabbage an Instant Cabbage with potatoes or Aloo Patta Gobhi
  • Diced tomato along with cabbage for a bright tangy taste
  • A cup of shredded or finely diced carrots for a pop of color and a hint of sweetness
