Cabbage Aloo Matar Sabzi

Cabbage is my son's favourite vegetable. He always stands by me when I start making this and keeps on chewing raw cabbage. And yes of course, he loves to string peas too. I learned this recipe from my Mom. I love this recipe because of it's simplicity. Cababge Aloo Matar is a mildly spiced and delicious recipe filled with nutrition. It is very easy and quick to make with all the ingredients easily available in your kitchen.

Ingredients:-
  • 300 gms cabbage (shredded)
  • 2 potatoes(peeled & cut in wedges)
  • 1 onion(sliced)
  • 1 tomato (finely chopped)
  • 2 green chillies(finely chopped)
  • ½  peas
  • ½  tsp turmeric pdr
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • salt to taste
Method:-
  • Heat oil in a wok.
  • Add in onions, green chillies and cumin seeds.
  • Saute for a minute and add turmeric pdr.
  • When onions change colour, add cabbage, green peas and potatoes. Mix well.
  • Add in chopped tomatoes and salt. Mix well again.
  • Simmer and cook covered till cabbage and potatoes are done.
Notes:-
  • You may use chopped carrots instead of potatoes and cauliflower instead of cabbage to make gobhi aloo gajar sabzi.
  • You may make sandwiches with the leftover sabzi or wrap in rotis as rolls and use in tiffin boxes for kids.
