    Stir-fried cabbage or cabbage fry is an easy everyday main course dish. Cabbage is a low-carb vegetable and if you are on any weight-loss mission, then cabbage is one of the best vegetables.

    Cabbage is a superfood and full of nutrients. This low-carb vegetable has numerous health benefits. We must include this vegetable in your diet.

    This is such a versatile vegetable you can either eat them raw or cooked. In raw form, it is best used as a slaw or in salads. Other than that, you can saute, stir fry, steam, bake.

    For more ideas, read my vegan cabbage recipes on the blog. I will keep on adding some more in the future. Cabbage and green peas are the ultimate combination. This is one of the common Indian main course dishes which are fit for the everyday menu. You can also add carrots and green beans to the cabbage stir-fry.

    Stir-fried Cabbage

    Stir-fried cabbage is an easy quick dish and you don't need any fancy ingredients or any meat to make cabbage delicious. Many found cabbage is not tasty without meat.

    But trust me in Indian cuisine, cabbage stir-fry is one of the most flavorful dishes, yet vegan. Just a few spices and your yummy cabbage stir-fry is ready. Check out my other delicious vegan cabbage recipes. This stir-fry recipe is similar to Ethiopian cabbage stir fry.

    Ingredients:

    • Cabbage
    • Green peas
    • Carrots
    • Potatoes
    • Onion
    • Tomato
    • Ginger garlic minced
    • Spices - cumin seeds, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, garam masala (optional)
    • Herbs - Fresh cilantro leaves

    How to cut cabbage for this stir-fry?

    For this stir-fry, you can either shred the cabbage or chop it roughly. Cooking time depends on how the cabbage is cut. If it's chopped roughly, add them a little earlier i.e. when potatoes are cooked 40 - 50%. When it's finely shredded, add them when potatoes are 80 - 90% cooked.

    Instructions: -

    Heat oil in a skillet. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onion, ginger, garlic, and sauté for a minute. Then add tomatoes and cook till tomatoes are soft. Now add all the spices mentioned. Give a nice stir and add 2 - 4 tbsp water so that the spices won't burn.

    Now add the potatoes, carrots, green peas. Add 1/4 cup water and stir well. Cover with a lid and simmer for 5 - 6 minutes or till the vegetables are fork-tender. Next, add chopped cabbage and stir quickly. Cover the skillet again and cook for 5 - 7 minutes again. Now keep it on high flame for some time. Don't overcook as it will turn mushy.

    Then turn off the heat and add freshly chopped cilantro leaves and some garam masala. How ever garam masala is optional. You can also skip this.

    If you are following the keto or low carb diet, then follow my keto sauteed cabbage with lemon garlic. You can also include red cabbage, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower in your keto stir-fried cabbage.
