Cabbages are one of the most popular vegetables and are used in so many different preparations around the world.They are quite flavorful and spicy and enhance the flavor quotient of any meal that they’re a part of.Nutritious and quick cooking, they make for the perfect weeknight vegetable for the whole family.
Cabbages are also rich in anti-oxidants and help in lowering cholesterol.(Source WHFoods).I usually cook Cabbage in a North Indian way that my Mom makes it.Its a simple stir fry that’s packed with flavor and perfectly spiced.
