I always keep some cabbage handy because it has a long shelf life. It’s great for those days when I can’t think of anything else to make.
Ingredients:
Cabbage - 4 cups finely chopped
Oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds (Rai) – 1 tsp
Channa daal - 1 tbsp
Urad daal - 1 tbsp
Asofoetida (Hing) – 1 pinch
Turmeric (Haldi) – ¼ tsp
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Ginger – ½ tsp grated
Red chili [whole] – 1 or 2, to taste
Green chili – thinly sliced, to taste
Salt - to taste
Fresh shredded coconut – to taste
Cilantro - 5 sprigs chopped
Method:
- Heat Oil on a medium flame in a non-stick pan (similar to a wok).
- Add Mustard Seeds and cover for a few seconds to let them sputter.
- Add Channa and Urad Daal – allow them to turn light golden brown.
- Add Asofoetida, Turmeric, Red Chili, Curry Leaves, Ginger, and Green Chili(preferably in that order).
- Add Cabbage and mix well.
- Allow it to cook uncovered – stirring frequently.
- Add Salt to taste and mix well.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh grated coconut and cilantro.
- Serves 4
Tips:
- To save time, use a food processor to shred the cabbage.
- Cook cabbage uncovered and add salt only in the end or the cabbage will become soggy.
- Try adding green peas or shredded carrots along with the cabbage for a change.

How do you store fresh cilantro – mine always goes bad in 2 days.

Hi Raj,
Here is the best way I’ve found to store fresh cilantro:
When you bring it home from the grocery store, remove the rubber band or twist tie and spread it out on a couple of paper towels on your counter. Let all of the water dry out (usually about an hour) and then roll up the paper towel with the cilantro inside. Place this paper towel/cilantro roll in the plastic bag in which it came and store it in the refrigerator. It will last anywhere from 1 1/2 – 2 weeks.

Hi,
I tried this twice and both times the channa dal and urad dal came out to hard to eat. How do you soften it enough to not break a tooth!

Hi Joe,
Couple of things that may be the contributing factors to the daal not cooking:
-the oil is too hot, so the daal is turning red/brown on the outside but is not getting cooked on the inside.
-if the daal is very old, it has a funny smell and it takes longer to cook.
Try this:
- reduce the heat and cook a little longer.
-soak the daal in water for about 1/2 hour, drain the water, pat it dry and then use it.
Hopefully you will have all your teeth intact after that:-)

Hello Hetal and Anuja,
Whenever I want to cook something different, your online shows helps me a lot. Also, my husband loves all the dishes. He always ask me; who taught you all these, but i am just going to keep it secret. Anyways I loved you Cabbage sabzi. First time I saw that we do add dals in our cabbage sabzi. I didn’t know that. I want you to show one subzi, i don’t if you already knew that. I do have good receipie if you watn.

Hi Anuja and Hetal,
When you say that you always have cabbage handy, is there a way to store it more than a week? I use frozen chopped cabbage for soups but that’s about it. I am afraid if I do the same for a subzi, the subzi might get too soggy.
Thank you in advance for your reply!
Your forever fan

We usually buy a fresh head of cabbage. It stays fresh in the refrigerator for weeks and weeks.
