Winter is the best season when we are lucky to get and enjoy a wide variety of vegetables, and cabbage is one of them. In Gujarati it is known as ‘Kobi’ and in Hindi ‘Patta Gobi’.

KOBI BATETA NU SAAK

This delicious and easy Gujarati style sabji is prepared with white cabbage, potato and basic Indian spices. It is made without onion and garlic. It is basically a stir fry.

We love cabbage and I do prepare so many dishes with it whether it’s Cabbage paratha or Cabbage Muthia, Cabbage No Sambharoor Cabbage soup.

When I am in a mood of eating authentic and rustic dishes, I love to eat this cabbage sabzi along with Bajra Na Rotla (millet flour flatbread) and garlic chutney, otherwise, it’s perfect as a side dish with Gujarati Daal, Rice, and Roti (chapati) to make a complete meal. This Cucumber Raita also goes great. 

We would have Gujarati Toor Dal or Gujarati Kadhi with it.

Make your own Gujarati Thali for a delicious weekend meal.

Such a simple yet absolutely delicious cabbage & aloo curry. My mom used to make the same combo without tomatoes though. Will try your version next time.
