Cabbage SADHAM RECIPE

If you are looking for a quick beginner-friendly recipe this is perfect. This rice is a great choice whether it is a simple weekday meal travel food or lunch box/tiffin box recipe for kids’ school or office. The aroma of freshly prepared dal podi with healthy cabbage makes the rice so flavorful

Cabbage- tips to chop

Grated cabbage cooks faster and also gives perfect texture. Avoid using a chopper and fine grate as it might turn watery.

Can I skip green gram?

Yes, you can use any dal of your choice. To add protein I prefer using a mix of dal

Can I use frozen coconut?

Yes, I have used frozen coconut. Thaw the coconut first then saute

Is it spicy dal powder?

To make it a friendly spice I have used less red chilli. Adjust the chilli according to your taste.

Cool well then pulse

Always cool the roasted ingredients well then pulse. I would recommend pulsing as it gives the best texture. Avoid grinding and making fine powder

CAN I USE LEFTOVER RICE FOR cabbage podi sadam?

yes, it is one perfect way to finish leftover rice/ cold rice. If you are using leftover rice from the fridge, make sure you keep the rice at room temperature for some time. Warm the rice, spread the rice on a plate, drizzle sesame oil then use it.

FLUFFY RICE

If you are making Kalandha sadham with freshly cooked rice make sure you spread the rice on a plate till the steam goes off then add sesame oil. I generally add a few drops of sesame oil while cooking rice as it helps fluffy rice.

WHAT KIND OF RICE SHOULD I USE?

I generally use Sona masoori rice/ raw rice. You can also use basmati rice, brown rice or hand pound rice, or millet. Cook the rice well but not mushy. Avoid al dente cooking for better digestion

WHAT TASTES BEST WITH cabbage dal podi RICE?

Rice tastes best with tamarind-based kuzhambu,  varuval variety, curd based kuzhambu, kootu variety, curd-based recipes, pickle varieties, vadam varieties, savory bakshanam, masala vada or pakoda
