    Can't believe there's only 10 days left for Christmas. But the weather here has been sending quite a few signals that it is almost winter and holiday season is just around the corner. We had 2 snow storms this week and the temperatures are below freezing. Can't wait for winter to end even before it started 🙂

    After that brief weather report, here's what's cooking in my house. I made this quick and easy (almost) 1 pot dish for one of our meals last week. Recipe is from a Telugu cooking show. I already have 2 cabbagerice recipes on the blog, but this one has whole garam masala spices and ground masala that gives a nice flavor to the dish.

    In the original recipe, rice was cooked with the veggies in the pot making it a 1-pot dish, but I cooked the rice separately and added it to the veggies at the end. All in all it is a tasty variation to regular pulaos and can be prepared in short amount of time.

    • to taste Salt

    Instructions

    • Wash and soak rice for at least 30 minutes.
    • Cook rice till tender making sure that the grains are separate and not mushy. Set aside. Skip this step if you want to cook rice with the veggies.
    • In the meantime, grind coriander seeds, ginger, garlic, green chilies, ½cup of mint and yogurt into a smooth paste. Set aside.
    • Heat 2tbsp oil in a pan; add the whole garam masala spices and cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Next add onions and cook until the onions are slightly browned around the edges.
    • Add the ground paste and cook until it does not smell raw anymore, about 2~3 minutes.
    • Now add the cabbage and cook covered until tender, about 6~8 minutes.
    • Add chopped tomatoes and cook till they are almost mushy.
    • Now add the cooked rice, salt and 2tbsp mint; mix well and cook covered for 2~3 minutes.
    • If you want to make it a 1 pot dish, add uncooked rice after tomatoes are cooked along with 2 cups of water, salt and mint. Cook until all the water is absorbed and rice is tender. Pressure cooker can also be used.
    • Turn off the heat and serve hot with some potato chips and yogurt.

      Cabbage in a pulao is not very common. Good to see the recipe...the mint should add a very nice flavor to the dish! I have been making a lot of one pot meal as well for the past few days. Guess it is the weather 🙂
