It’s astounding what Indian cuisine can do to a humble ingredient like cabbage. It takes this basic brassica and turns it into a dazzling dish.
Cabbage is full of nutrients and health benefits, and these Indian recipes sure know how to sneak more of this amazing veggie into your diet.
From crunchy fritters to spectacular sides, these Indian cabbage recipes will have you craving cabbage like you never have before.
1. Cabbage Pakoda (Indian Cabbage Fritters)
To kick off your Indian cabbage adventure, try an easy Indian appetizer like pakoda.
These crispy fritters are a type of pakora. They feature cabbage, chickpea flour, and a bunch of spices.
I like to dip mine in chutney, but they’re certainly flavorful enough on their own.
2. Cabbage Paratha
Cabbage paratha is a real gem. It involves making wheat flatbread and stuffing the inside full of spiced cabbage.
Like many Indian recipes, you’ll need an array of spices to get the flavors right. Garam masala, dry mango, and ginger paste are key.
Although mild in heat, the spices pack a pungent punch.
3. Cabbage Vatana Nu Shaak
Peas and cabbage may not sound all that enticing. But when you make them Gujarati-style, the duo is beyond alluring.
This vegan side dish is glowing with goodness!
Mustard seed adds some bite and there’s a pinch of chili powder for a tiny bit of heat. Of course, the gorgeous golden color is none other than turmeric.
It not only adds a nice earthy, slightly sweet flavor, but it is full of anti-inflammatory properties, too.
4. Asian Pickled Cabbage (Indian Style Spicy & Sour Pickle)
If you’ve avoided pickling because it sounds too laborious, you’ll be happy to hear this comes together in a pinch.
These tangy, sour, and spicy pickled veggies take about 15 minutes to pull together. Then, you’ll let them sit for a few hours.
Aside from cabbage, there are also some carrots and bell pepper in the mix.
This is a great addition to virtually any Indian meal and gives you an extra boost of nutrients.
5. Cabbage, Carrot, and Paneer Grilled Sandwich
These Indian sandwiches are a clever way to take a break from the usual sandwich routine.
The inside is oozing with paneer, green chilies, grated carrots, and crunchy cabbage.
When buttering the bread, I recommend swapping out the butter for ghee. It makes these grilled sandwiches even more rich and indulgent. Read More…
