    Cabbage stir fry, also known as patta gobi sabzi, is an Indian cabbage dish, sauted with spices. It is vegan, gluten-free, easy to make, and delicious.

    Ingredients

    Cabbage stir fry is an easy to make dish with very few Indian spices. Basic spices like turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, salt, and oil are used. I like to add some peas, and carrots to add a slight crunch. Either frozen or fresh peas works well.

    Spices like whole red chili, mustard seeds, urad dal, and curry leaves are used for tempering.

    Steps

    Using a vegetable peeler, peel the carrots and dice them. Chop the cabbage into thin strips about 4-5 mm in thickness and about 2 inches in length.

    On medium heat, heat a large pan. Once the pan is hot, add oil. Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds, Urad dal, and red chili and saute for a few seconds until the mustard seeds crackle.

    Add the curry leaves and serrano peppers. Add the carrots and peas and mix well. Now put the chopped cabbage, salt, coriander powder, and turmeric powder and mix everything well.

    Cover the pan and continue to cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes. Stir it with a spatula intermittently to avoid the vegetables from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

    Once all vegetables are cooked well, the cabbage stir fry is ready. Turn off the heat.

    Serving suggestions

    Cabbage stir fry or patta gobi sabji is best served with Indian bread like roti, puri, or paratha. It is also served along with dal and rice. It is served also as part of Indian thali or platter with other curries.

    Storage

    Once you have cooked the cabbage stir fry, it is best to serve it hot. However, if you have any leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for 3-4 days. Allow it to cool down completely and then store it in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

    You can reheat the stir fry cabbage in the microwave before serving.
