Cabbage rice is a simple, Maharashtrian preparation, which can be easily prepared with the ingredients we have at home. Nothing exotic in this...It is so tasty, you don't even need a raita or any side for this rice. Just a bowl of curds would suffice.
Please check my other  Rice  varieties  here
Please refer to my Glossary for any unknown terms.

Recipe Cuisine: North Indian; Category: Lunch / Dinner
Prep time: 15 mts; Cooking time: 10 - 12 mts

Serves 3-4



Both the low cal vegetables.....low in calories but high in nutrition....


Basmati rice soaked in water for 10 - 15 minutes


Cardamom, cloves and cinnamon in a cup, green chillies, ginger and garlic ground to a paste, grated coconut in another cup, onion chopped


Soaked rice drained


In a pressure cooker, heat oil and ghee, season turmeric powder and jeera first


Then add and fry the onions till they become translucent, and now, add the ground paste, and the cardamom, cloves and cinnamon



Now, add the cabbage and peas


The grated coconut and salt to taste


Mix well


Add the well heated up measured water


By now, you all would have known my way of cooking rice.....as soon as steam comes, close the vent with a small cup, flames on the lowest, and cook for 10 - 12 minutes.


This is how the rice looks after 5 minutes


Fully done, now add the lemon juice, and gently mix.


Serve this excellent, exorbitant and  extra ordinary Cabbage Rice with just a bowl of yogurt...
