Cabbage Sambharo recipe: Gujarati-style cabbage stir-fry, warm cabbage salad, no onion, no garlic recipe, easy-to-make cabbage stir-fry with a short video.
We South Indians often make cabbage poriyal by adding coconut. I have posted the South Indian and North Indian versions of cabbage stir-fry. This one I recently learnt from a friend, but added my own twist to it. I made the stir-fry protein-rich by adding cooked green moong dal. The traditional Gujarati version of Cabbage Sambharo won’t have the moong dal.
You can pair this Cabbage Sambharo with rice or roti. A simple and easy dish loaded with fiber and protein, perfect for a balanced meal. You can add thinly shredded carrot or capsicum to this stir-fry. You can add turmeric powder to this stir-fry, but that is optional.
I always prefer cabbage stir fry without turmeric powder.
