I had made cabbage sabzi early in the week.Half of the 400 gm cabbage was leftover. I thought of making cabbage pulao. I googled & got many recipes of cabbage rice. I choose this recipe of Veg Recipes of India. I made a few changes. And of course, I made it in the cooker.
Ingredients : 1 cup basmati tukda rice, 1 tbsp oil, 200 gm finely shredded cabbage, 10-12 curry leaves , 1-2 green chillies roughly chopped, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 bay leaf, 1 inch cinnamon stick, 5-6 peppercorns slightly pounded, 1 tsp cumin or jeera, 1 tsp dhania powder, 1/4 tsp red chilli powder, 1/4 tsp haldi, 1/4 tsp hing,juice of half lemon , salt to taste.
Method : Take oil in the pressure cooker pan. Heat the oil .Add ginger to it.Let it be nicely fried in oil.Add pounded peppercorns, cinnamon stick & cumin .After they turn fragrant, add shredded cabbage, curry leaves & green chillies. Let it be nicely sauteed. Add haldi & hing. Mix nicely with cabbage & spices. Add bay leaf. Give all ingredients a good stir. Add rice. Mix all things nicely in the pressure pan. Add dhania powder & red chilli powder. Mix nicely with the ingredients in the vessel.Add salt. Mix nicely once again so that salt gets distributed all over. Add 2 cups water. Put on the lid of the pressure pan.Put on the whistle.Pressure cook for 2-3 whistles on high flame. Put off gas.Aftr it cools, put off whistle.After 10-15 minutes after whistle has been removed, open the lid. The cabbage pulao is ready. Sprinkle juice of half a lemon & mix with the fluffed up rice.
