| Cabbage Foogath |
Cabbage foogath is my favorite dish since childhood.Cabbage is easy to chop
and takes very little time to cook.
Foogath or Foogad is the Western Indian term used for any
vegetable dish made with coconut and curry leaves.
Cabbage Foogath is perfect side dish for vegetarian as well
as non vegetarian meal. I often make and eat it by itself... like a salad!
Ingredients
- 2 cups of finely sliced cabbage
- 1 medium sized potato (sliced and chopped)
- ½ cup of green peas (fresh)
- 1 or 2 green chilies (chopped)
- 2-3 tbsp grated coconut
- 1 tsp of sugar
- Salt to taste
- Oil (around 1 tablespoon)
- Cumin seeds (1 tsp)
- Turmeric powder (1/4 tsp)
- Mustard seeds (1 tsp)
- Curry leaves (5-6)
- Asafetida ( ½ tsp)
- Coriander leaves (handful to garnish)
Serves (3-4)
Method of preparation
- Heat oil in a pan, add the mustard seeds,cumin seeds,asafetida, green chilies and saute on a medium flame for a few seconds, while stirring continuously.
- Then add the cabbage, green peas, and potato mix well and cook on a medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes, while stirring once or twice in between. Cover the pan.
- Add the coconut, salt, sugar and turmeric powder mix gently and cook on a slow flame, while stirring continuously for another 4 to 5 minutes.
- Garnish with coriander leaves. Cabbage foogath is ready, serve hot.
Note
- I normally add very very little or no water in any dry vegetable dish while cooking .I cover the pan while cooking to keep the flavors intact.
- Cabbage and green peas take very little time to cook, but check whether the potato is cooked properly.
- Though I also prepare cabbage foogath with onion I personally love the combination of cabbage, potato and green peas. It’s personal choice.
- Adding turmeric in this dish is again as per individual choice. I feel adding turmeric to any vegetable improves the healthy aspect of that dish. Happy Cooking !
