    We can always need quick, vegetarian, one-pot dishes such as this delicious cabbage bhaji.

    The cabbage stir fry recipe is my goan mother in law's specialty at home.

    Prepare this as a side dish together with fish curry rice, or other curries such as meatball curry for example.

    What is this Indian Cabbage Stir Fry?

    The Goan version of a cabbage stir fry includes ingredients such as potatoes, freshly grated coconut, chili, tomato, onion, and spices such as Turmeric and Chili.

    So you see, you can recreate this dish easily at home since these ingredients can be easily found all over the world.

    Other Indian popular regional cabbage stir fry recipes include the Cabbage Thoran from Kerala and the Cabbage Sabzi from Gujarat/Punjab.

    The Cabbage Thoran includes mustard seeds, coconut oil and curry leaves in the making.

    The Cabbage Sabzi will call for potato and garam masala in the recipe.

    The Goan and Maharashtra cabbage bhaji includes both potatoes and grated coconut.

    The regional dishes actually have little differences in the making and ingredients choice.

    The names in each language, script and culture, are the most important distinction and one could discuss this for hours of course.

    • Cut your potato into small cubes and add to the pan with the cabbage, together with the 3 Tablespoons water. Don't add more water because the cabbage will loose water while it's sweating in the pan.

    • Let cook the whole content while stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is soft but a bit firm to the bite, that means the cabbage bhaji should have some texture too.
    • Garnish with freshly scraped coconut and serve hot as side dish with coconut curries (see suggestions further up in post)

      I would have this as a main meal but without the coconut.

        You can skip the coconut if you like. It's a garnish

      I am amazed to see the similarities we have in our recipes. Sri Lankans have few ways to make cabbage, but we do have one recipe that is similar to your recipe with less tomatoes, no potatoes and no coconut.

      I can imagine the taste of potatoes cooked with cabbage. Very nice combination !

      Thanks for the recipe.

      I sure agree - why is the origin of the dish can be mind-boggling, that's why I also avoid writing on such a thing. Cabbag bhaji - oh, we have our version as well, sort of similar. This is a fabulous side dish and cabbage, always also at home.
