Cabbage Rice | Cabbage Rice Recipe (South Indian Rice Recipes)

November 23, 2015 28 Comments

Cabbage rice recipe, South Indian style – I have no story to share this time, not even the minuscule amount I write usually. Just a good bowl of hot cabbage rice, garnished with Kerala banana chips (or benana chips, as TH calls them, to tease the Malayali accent that I supposedly have) and served with love (not so much for the afore-mentioned person though!)

This a quick and easy rice recipe if you are short on vegetables in hand and just want a mixed vegetable-added rice to serve for lunch or dinner. Cabbage adds a nice flavour to the rice and when cooked with the minimum ingredients in this recipe, this is a sure winner. It’s also a good recipe to make use of cabbage since most of the time I end up buying a medium-sized cabbage and after making the usual cabbage poriyal and Kerala cabbage thoran recipe, I am still left with a good amount of it to make something else entirely. This is the perfect dish to make sure of that last bit of cabbage, I assure you. So with that, let’s check out how to make cabbage rice, shall we?

Cabbage Rice Recipe

Ingredients:
1.5 cups cooked rice
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/4 cup green peas
1 small onion, chopped small (optional)
3 green chilies, sliced (adjust to taste)
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tsp cumin seeds / jeera / jeerakam
2 tbsp coriander powder / malli podi
1 tsp channa dal / kadala paruppu
A pinch turmeric powder
A few curry leaves
2 tbsp oil
Salt to taste
How to make Cabbage Rice:
1. Transfer the chopped cabbage, a pinch of salt, green peas and turmeric powder to a vessel. Sprinkle some water. Keep on low fire and cook closed until the cabbage is soft.
2. Heat the oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and channa dal.
3. When the jeera starts spluttering and the dal turns a light brown, add the green chilies, curry leaves and onion. Fry until the onions turn a light brown. (If using onions, of course)
4. To this, add the coriander powder and the ginger-garlic paste. Fry for 1-2 mins.
5. Now add the cooked cabbage and peas to the above. Add salt. Mix and combine well.
6. Remove from fire and combine the rice with the mixture.

    Hi, I was wondering what Channa Dal is. From trying to figure out what it was it seemed to be lentils, but I can't imagine needing only 1 tsp of lentils. Are there lentils in it? From the pics it looks like it. Sorry to be so confused, but this looks really yummy!

    I am eyeing those banana chips Nags. I suddenly remembered that everytime my friends used to go to Kerala we would get a few bagful of those. I miss them, & seeing it here makes me crave real bad.

    Never made cabbage rice, but quite a healthy bowl out there.

    Nice pics. I make this often too as Cabbage is availabe in Singapore aplent – though without the onions and the ginger garlic paste. Good idea of topping it up with benana chips, though.
