If you’re used to making curries with green cabbage, it’s time to switch things up and try making a red cabbage potato curry, also known as purple cabbage curry, with this easy-to-follow recipe.
Red Cabbage Curry
Red or purple cabbage is a common vegetable that tastes great in salads or pickles, but it’s also delicious in curries!
It is an often-overlooked vegetable in curry recipes, as many of us are used to making curries with green cabbage.
Not only does it have a unique flavor and texture, but it’s also packed with high levels of antioxidants and vitamins.
So why not use red cabbage in your next curry recipe?
Here is a step-by-step photo instruction on how to make a red cabbage curry recipe.
Ingredients
Red Cabbage: Red cabbage adds a unique flavor and texture to the curry. It is a cruciferous vegetable and is known for its high nutritional value. For this recipe, you will need a small head of red cabbage, which should be thinly sliced.
Potatoes: Red potatoes finely chopped.
Spices and Herbs: Cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, red chili powder, and cilantro.
Oil: Any cooking oil or vegetable oil.
Instructions
Step 1: Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, add chopped onions. Cook until they become soft and translucent.
Step 2: Next, add chopped potatoes and sauté for 5-6 minutes until lightly browned.
Step 3: Once the potatoes are lightly brown, add the spices and ginger-garlic paste. Cook for a few minutes to allow the spices to release their flavors.
Step 4: Add chopped cabbage to the pot and mix well. Saute it for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5: Then add chopped tomato and cook it with the lid covered.
Step 6: Once the tomato looks soft, add water and simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes and cabbage are tender.
Step 7: Once cooked, add salt to taste and mix everything well.
Step 8: Finally, serve with rice or roti.
Serving & Storage
Here are some serving suggestions that can help you enjoy this delicious dish:
Rice
I often pair most curries with rice. You can serve it with plain boiled rice or flavored rice, such as lemon, coconut, or jeera.
Naan or Roti
You can also pair red cabbage potato curry with warm and fluffy naan bread or roti, which perfectly complements the curry.
Salad
A simple salad can be served with red cabbage potato curry to add some freshness and crunch. You can make a salad with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, and lemon juice.
Pickles
Pickles are a great accompaniment to red cabbage potato curry. You can serve it with mango pickles, homemade mint tomato pickles, or shrimp tomato pickles.
Storage
To ensure that your red cabbage potato curry stays fresh and tasty, it’s important to store it properly. You can easily store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure the curry cools down before storing it in the refrigerator.
