Cabbage Potato and Green Peas Stir Fry Or Kobichi Bhaji as its called in Marathi is a simple and easy sabji (dry curry) from the Maharashtrian cuisine that can be served with hot Phulka/chapati/roti.

Kobichi Bhaji is an everyday vegan, vegetarian and non onion-garlic recipe involving stir-fry of the main ingredients i.e. cabbage, potato and green peas flavored with very few herbs and spices like curry leaves, coriander leaves, turmeric powder and green chillies (for spice). Ideally you could make this Cabbage sabzi recipe with only cabbage but I like to add some potato and green peas too. They not only add volume but also flavor, color and texture to this dish.

Since childhood days I have seen my mom and granny make cabbage bhaji this way and now its one of the favorite Indian side dishes in my home.

Quick Easy and Healthy

This is what I love about this Cabbage Potato and Green Peas Stir Fry. Its not only quick, easy to make but also healthy!! Cabbage barely takes any time to cook and if you have boiled potatoes on hand this dish can be made in no time making it perfect for those busy/lazy weekdays. The stovetop version is quicker but my new favorite way of making this is in the InstantPot as I don't need to baby sit the sabzi any more. Include this recipe in your weekday menu and be rest assured to have a tasty and quick meal ready.

Now to the recipe...

Step by Step Method (Stove Top):

In a cooking pan/dutch oven heat oil and once hot add the mustard seeds. Once they begin to splutter add the cumin seeds, asafoetida, green chillies and curry leaves. Give a quick stir and then add in the diced potatoes along with the finely chopped coriander stems (reserve the leaves for garnishing later). Mix well so that potatoes get coated with oil. Cover and cook for about 10 mins or until the potatoes are ¾ cooked. Now add the salt, sugar and turmeric powder. Stir well.

Add the green peas followed by cabbage. Mix everything so that all is well Incorporated and cook until peas and cabbage are done. Then finally squeeze in lemon juice and coriander leaves. Adjust salt if required. Mix well.

That's it, Cabbage Potato and Green Peas Stir Fry is ready. Serve it hot with some pickle/salad/chutney and hot Phulka/chapati on the side. Enjoy!!

Notes

  • If using fresh peas, you can add those along with the potatoes for cooking as they may take longer to cook than frozen ones. 
  • I’ve used raw potatoes for this recipe but to speed up the cooking process you can use boiled potatoes too. Make sure they are not over boiled and crumbly. In this case the cooking time of potatoes will reduce.
