Stir Fry Cabbage is the best way to feed this nutritious vegetable to all those fussy kids and husband who make faces seeing cabbage on the dinning table. This recipe was a big success in my house. Though I didn’t follow the authentic ingredients commonly used in stir fry dishes, I retained the healthy elements and still this stir fry cabbage came out really tasty!
Colourful vegetables are considered very good for health. So, here I have used both green and purple cabbage. I used tomato to get red colour which also gave tangy taste. Purple cabbage is more pungent in taste compared to green cabbage. Also added onions for white colour. So, overall the taste of four vegetables along with spices gave this dish a very nice flavour.
I avoided using soy sauce here as it’s high in sodium. Usually, I never use garam masala and onions in cabbage. But for this stir fry, I added a pinch of garam masala in the end and the overall result with the pungent cabbages, sweet onions, acidity of tomatoes and spicy green-chilies along with Indian spices created fantastic Stir Fry Cabbage dish!!
Try this recipe, and trust me that this Indian style Stir Fry Cabbage will bring smile at the dinning table๐.

Ingredients:
Chopped cabbage 250 gms
Medium size onion 2
Tomato 1 or 1 tsp lemon juice
Green chilies 2-3
Oil 3 tbsp
Rai (tiny mustard seeds) 1/4 tsp
Jeera (cumin seeds) 1/4 tsp
Hing (Asafoetida) 1/8 tsp
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Salt as per your taste
Coriander powder 1+1/2 tsp
Red chilly powder 1/4 tsp
Garam masala 1/8 tsp
Process:
Chop cabbages length-wise. Wash and keep them in the strainer till the water drains out.
Similarly, chop onions and green chilies too.
In a wok or a pan heat 1 tbsp oil and stir fry onions till they are brown. Keep onions in a separate bowl.
Once again heat 2 tbsp oil and crackle rai, hing and jeera. Keep the heat on medium flame and immediately add chopped cabbages and green chilies. Add salt and turmeric powder, mix it well and keep stirring.
Remember, cabbage should not turn completely soft. In stir fry dishes, vegetables remain crisp – that’s why they are cooked on slightly high flame. When you feel that cabbage is about to get cooked in the next 5 minutes, add coriander powder and chilly powder. Mix it well and keep stirring for 2-3 minutes. Add chopped tomato pieces, garam masala and onions. Stir for a minute and your Stir Fry Cabbage is ready to go with hot parathe or naan!!
Am definitely going to try this. My hubby always says, cabbage is not a veggie which will go with chapatis..
Waiting to try this. Looks very irresistible ๐
Thank you very much ๐
Ghar ghar ki yahi kahani hai Deepika. So I decided to give this vegetable a makeover and it worked so well!!
Looks amazing Dee. I love how well you have shredded the cabbage. My chopping skills are very poor.๐
Thank you very much Radhika ๐
For daily chopping and cooking I also don’t pay much attention, but for the blog pictures, little bit more than usual , that’s all๐๐
Cabbage is a favorite vegetable and your stir fry is a perfect way to serve it!
Thank you very much Aunt juju๐
Even I like cabbage but to feed other family members, gave it a makeover!
You can do so much with cabbage. Your recipe sounds good.
Thank you very much ๐
Some how mostly people around me never appreciated this humble vegetable. Now it’s their favorite!
My dear mother used to oversalt it and boil it for ages , dad would drink the water and put Worcestershire sauce in it. Years later I introduced my mum to stir fry vegetables etc, and less salt .๐
Moms had their own unique style. I also adapted many recipes from my mom and changed them with today’s health issues.
Cabbage is one of my favourite, Thanks for sharing Deeksha, I will try.
You are always welcome Sri๐
Looks very delicious and yummy, will try it at home too, Deeksha.
Thank you very much Kamal ๐ ๐

I had evening breakfast, and after reading the post I’m hungry again, a useful article for food lover ๐
Shashank, thank you very much for your lovely appreciation๐๐
Thank you very much for the new recipe ,I don’t like cabbage except crispy veg made out of diced cabbage mixed with corn flour and fried till it’s brown and a little kimchi.I hope this will be something new and delectable.Take care.๐น๐๐

Of course,your recipes are always delectable.Most welcome๐
A simple. yet healthy dish, deeksha!
Thank you very much Indira๐๐
Nice recipe , addition of red chili powder and garam masala must definitely give it a special taste, will try!
Thank you very much Nisha๐๐
. A pinch of garam masala sure did the magic!!
We like stir fry veggies, and you are right about soy sauce, it is very salty. I will try it your way.
Apoorva and Manish both gave big thumbs up so I guess the absence of soy sauce didn’t matter here. I am also encouraged now to do more stir fries without soy sauce.
That looks so delicious!
Thank you very much Lynette ๐
Wow! you use both red cabbage and regular cabbage! This is a good idea. My mom usually just use regular cabbage in stir fry. I am wondering why we did not think about two cabbages stir fried together!
Thank you, Deeksha. So creative!
Thank you so much dear Oscar ๐
Sometimes we just keep on going to do the same what we are doing for a long time. In India purple cabbage is still not cooked in each household and also not available in all shops. With the current pandemic people are trying different cuisines at home so different vegetables are becoming popular.
Your blogs are nice. You should also visit my blog and give your important comments.
Vikas thank you very much. I will sure visit your blog.
That’s a gorgeous looking cabbage stir fry. Love stir fry, can have that for dinner any day ๐
So true Neetha, stir fry dishes are always welcome at dinner table!
