Cabbage Sabzi – a simple Mangalorean style stir-fry with minimum ingredients.

Cabbage Sabzi is an extremely simple sabzi to make. Also known as cabbage upkari, the recipe involves adding shredded cabbage to a tempering of garlic, udad dal, mustard seed, curry leaves and green chillies. The cabbage is then slow-cooked and finally garnished with fresh coconut. You can serve it with chapatis or as a side dish with your main meals. This is a must have sabzi at my home whenever I prepare Mangalorean fish curry and rice. Cabbage sabzi pairs excellently with brown rice and fish curry. Here goes the recipe.

Step-wise recipe with pictures:

Wash and shred the cabbage.

Heat oil in a pan. Add udad dal and mustard seeds. When the seeds start crackling, add chopped garlic, curry leaves, chopped chillies, chopped onion and saute for a minute.

Add chopped cabbage and saute. Add turmeric powder and salt as per taste. Mix well.

Allow the cabbage to cook on slow flame for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add grated fresh coconut and mix. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Serve hot.
