    Cabbage rice recipe, easy cabbage rice

    January 17, 2019 by Raks Anand 5 Comments / Jump to Recipe

    Cabbage rice recipe, a quick and easy method with spice powders and cooked rice. You can use leftover rice too and make a hearty meal with goodness of cabbage. Full video and step by step pictures.

    From my childhood, I am not good when it comes to eat my vegetables. So as I have said earlier in my posts, my mom used to mix vegetable that she makes as poriyal or curry with hot rice and ghee or sesame oil and makes us eat that first before sambar or kuzhambu sadam. It will always be first lots of vegetable and a small portion of rice mixed with ghee. Also, followed by sambar/ kuzhambu sadham and mor sadham.

    I never make vegetable rice like these earlier as I mix poriyal/ curry with rice and eat. But thought these mixed vegetable rice can be a great option for one pot meals and use up leftover rice as well. Or even to people like me who like to eat hot food. Can use up the leftover rice and prepare vegetable rice and have it hot. Checkout my beautiful beetroot rice recipe 😉

      One of my fav lunchbox recipes. I also add a bit of lemon juice after turning off the stove as my son likes that tanginess.
