How To Make Cabbage Pulao Recipe I Cabbage Pulao - The Healthy Indian Food Recipe 

To make this tasty cabbage pulao, you'll need a small cabbage. Chop it finely. The cabbage adds a lovely crunch and mild sweetness to the pulao. Basmati rice is the go-to choice for a fragrant and fluffy pulao. Take one cup of the rice, wash it thoroughly and soak it in water for about 30 minutes. This step ensures that the rice cooks evenly and becomes fluffy. Heat oil or ghee in a pan or a pressure cooker. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and saute for a minute or two until the raw smell disappears. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and blend with the onions. Now add the chopped cabbage and saute for a few minutes until it begins to soften. Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pan. Gently mix the rice and cabbage together. Pour in two cups of water and add salt to taste. Stir well. 

If you're using a pressure cooker: cover it with the lid and cook for one whistle on medium heat. Then, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes.

If you're using a regular pan: cover it with a tight-fitting lid and let the pulao cook on low heat until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the flavours. It may take around 15-20 minutes. Check occasionally and add more water if needed. 

Once the rice is cooked and the cabbage is tender, your Cabbage pulao is ready to be served. Don't forget to garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
