Cabbage Pulao
Thursday, October 01, 2020
Cabbage is one vegetable that we are quite bored of at present. I always make a quick stir fry (Palya) out of it as my family doesn't really care about Cabbage Sambar or Cabbage Dal ..
Apart from adding it to Noodles or Fried Rice, I didn't know how to out it to use .. I made a quick Cabbage Pulao with shredded Cabbage & onions. Honestly, it was quite nice
I am going to be making this often as a weekday lunch, now that we are in the middle of Online Schooling chaos, we need loads of under 30 minute meals :)
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 2 cups or Half a head of Shredded Cabbage
- 1 large Onion - sliced lengthwise
- 1 1/4 cup of Basmati Rice (I've used the traditional Paavu Measurement)
- 1/2 cup Frozen Peas /Edamame
- 2 cups Water (Preferable Hot)
- Salt as per taste
Spices Needed:
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
- 1 powder MTR Pulao Masala
- 1/2 teaspoon Kitchen King Masala
To Temper
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- A small stick of Cinnamon
- Two bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon Ginger-garlic Paste
Method:
In a Pressure Cooker, Heat Oil & Ghee. Splutter Cumin seeds, Add Bay Leaves, Cinnamon Sticks, Ginger-Garlic Paste & Sauté for 30 seconds
Add sliced Onions & some salt. Sauté for a couple of minutes. Add all the Spices & sauté for 2-3 minutes until the Onions are slightly cooked
Add shredded Cabbage & continue sautéing for another couple of minutes Add Basmati rice & fry for a minute
Add 2 cups of water (preferable hot to speed up the cooking process)
Throw in the green peas/Edamame (I used Edamame as I ran out of Peas & I think Edamame makes an excellent substitute) , check for salt & deglaze the pot
Close the lid & Pressure cook for 1 whistle
Upon releasing the pressure, garnish with chopped coriander & gently fluff with a fork
I will be pairing it with some Spicy Salna on the side, the next time I make this. But you can serve it with Raita too
You can also cook this in an Instant pot. Pressure Cook on High for 4 & NPR for 3 Minutes & release excess pressure after the completion of 3 minutes
