Cabbage Raita
Raita is nothing but any curd based salad which goes well (as a side dish) with rice items like Pulav/Fried rice/Biryani/Jeera Rice. It could be used as a substitute for plain yogurt in meals especially because it derives extra nutrient value from the veggies added to it. Cabbage Raita, as the name itself suggests, has cabbage as its main ingredient. Learnt it from akka who had eaten it at her office food court. So far, all those who have eaten it have loved it.
Time Taken: Approximately 15 minutes.
Serves about 3-4 people
Ingredients Used:
One quarter of a medium sized cabbage
One large onion
3 green chillies
1 tsp Jeera/cumin seeds
3-4 tablespoons of curd/plain yogurt
2 tsp oil
Water as required.
Method of Preparation:
Wash the cabbage and chop it into thin and lengthy pieces(about 2 inch length).
Chop onions too in the same way. Cut green chillies finely. Warm oil in a cooking pan and add jeera to it. When the cumin seeds crackle, add the green chillies and stir a couple of times. Then, add onions and fry until they just start changing colour. Toss in the chopped cabbage and stir for a few more minutes till the cabbage is half cooked(it should retain its crispiness at the same time). Add salt now and wait for it to cool. Then, mix this in dahi/curd/yogurt and add water depending on how thick you want it to be. Check for salt. Garnish with coriander leaves if required and serve.
Note: This type of raita could be prepared with Bhindi/ladies finger/okra as well. However, we need to remember to use a little more oil and fry it a little longer so that okra becomes crispy loses its stickiness. Some even deep fry the bhindi to make it easier
