Cabbage Aloo Sabzi | Potato Cabbage Dry Curry | Aloo Cabbage Sabzi Recipe

I like to make dry curry or sabzi with Cabbage for Phulka or sometimes to go with Dosa. Once my neighbor friend gave some rotis and sabzi for us when I was sick and under treatment. That sabzi which she gave was prepared using cabbage and potato combo which my kids loved it a lot. I was happy that my kids loved eating cabbage sabzi because of  some potatoes in it. So, why not to cook it my way for them and even we liked the combo.
This cabbage aloo sabzi or potato cabbage dry curry is a very simple and easy to make side dish for rotis/phulkas. It requires simple ingredients and less time to make this healthy and filling side dish. This sabzi is perfect for making wrap or roll for kids lunch box. You can also drizzle some green chutney or tomato ketchup or simply the sabzi alone for roti roll, my kids love to have wrap/roll kind of stuff for their lunch box.

Cabbage Paratha / Purple Cabbage Paratha

            Today's recipe is Cabbage Paratha, this time i used purple cabbage instead the green one. Taste doesn't differ only the color. This is so flavorful and fiber rich paratha. Freshly chopped/grated cabbage, onions and other ground spices mixed along with the whole wheat flour and kneaded to a dough to make tasty and healthy "Cabbage Parathas". Grated cabbage will be easy for rolling the parathas but i used the chopped one and also i added more cabbage so i found little tough while rolling and then tried making like Adai. that was simple and quick.
