cabbage pulao recipe | spicy patta gobi pulao | healthy Indian cabbage rice | with 30 amazing images.

cabbage pulao is a hearty and satisfying dish that is popular in South India. Enjoy how to make patta gobi pulao.

cabbage pulao is made with rice, cabbage, carrots, peanuts, and coconut. The combination of flavors and textures is delicious, and the dish is sure to please everyone at the table.

We enjoy the contrasting textures of the soft cabbage and the crunchy urad dal and peanuts in cabbage pulao.

The cabbage pulao is tempered with the traditional South Indian combination of mustard seeds and urad dal, along with red chillies, onions, parboiled chana dal and other ingredients that give the dish a unique texture and flavour.

We have made a healthier version of cabbage pulao by using brown rice instead of white rice. Brown rice adds a nutty flavor and chewy texture to cabbage pulao.

cabbage pulao is a good source of folic acid and fiber, which are important nutrients for pregnant women.

Pro tips for cabbage pulao. 1. Coconut oil is a natural and saturated fat that is better for your health than processed seed oils, which are high in polyunsaturated fats. 2. Add salt to taste. We added 1/4th tsp salt. If suffering from high blood pressure, reduce salt or skip it. 3. Cabbage pulao is a perfect meal for packing in your tiffin box. It is nutritious, delicious, and will stay fresh for hours.
