Cabbage rice is a very simple on to pack for lunch box and people who hate cabbage will like this recipe for sure. Yesterday me and kids went for a birthday party and i was breaking my head what to make for my hubby for dinner as i don’t have any veggie at home except a piece of capsicum and a full cabbage. Suddenly thought i can make a variety rice with these two ingredients and he loved this a lot and wanted me to make today for his lunch box too.
I simply made with this according to my taste and you make any variation to this recipe.
