Cabbage Fried Rice

cabbage fried rice
We all are aware of the health benefits and nutrient values of vegetables.  It is believed that cabbage has a compound which blocks the growth of cancer cells.  Here is a simple, less spicy fried rice with cabbage.

Ingredients:
Basmati Rice - 1 cup
Green Cabbage (chopped) - 4 cups
Spring/Green Onions - 1 cup
Garlic - 2 big cloves
Cilantro/Coriander leaves - few sprigs
Green Chillies - 4
Black Pepper Powder - 1/4 tsp
Turmeric/Haldi - 1/4 tsp
Cumin/Jeera Seeds - 1/2 tsp
Biryani Masala or any other spice mix - 1/8 tsp
Cashews - 5
Salt
Oil

Method:
1. Wash rice 3 - 4 times in water and cook with 1 1/2 cup water.  Save the cooked rice for later.  You can use leftover rice as well.
2. Chop cabbage (long thin slices), spring onions, garlic and cilantro leaves. Slit the green chillies lengthwise. 
3. Heat about 2 tbsp oil in a pan.  Add cumin seeds and finely chopped garlic.  Saute for a minute and add chopped cabbage, spring onions and green chillies.  Saute till cabbage starts wilting.  Add turmeric, black pepper powder, cashews, biryani masala, salt and saute for a few minutes.
4. Lastly add cooked rice, chopped cilantro. Saute for about 5 minutes at low flame till all the ingredients are mixed well.
5. Turn off the heat and keep it covered for 5 minutes.  Garnish with spring onions and serve hot fried rice with curd or a raita.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
