  • 1 lb green cabbage chopped

Notes

This flavorful dish is the perfect side to accompany your favorite Indian main meals! It could also be the center of a vegetarian meal accompanied by basmati rice, or some naan bread.
I like to serve it alongside Keema do Pyaza (lamb mince curry dish) or Indian Butter Chicken.
Keep this recipe handy for anytime you crave a delicious cabbage dish!
