About Cabbage Matar
We make conscious choices about what we eat, to feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Food can be adventure or nutritious savoury like the Patta gobhi matar recipe prepared on slow-cooked heat in a fragrant herb-based sauce of tomato, ginger garlic and onion until it is melt-in-the-mouth tender. Patta gobhi matar recipe is not fatty (oil, butter, ghee) or spicy. Cabbage and cauliflower are cooked in the same manner to get a smattering brilliant bowlful of healthy greens.
It is fair to put the humble legume in the spotlight at least once before the winter ends, the time when the sheer abundance of peas and seasonal greens alongside an array of spices lift the flavours.
