Kobi Vatana

Kobi Vatana Bhaji is a delicious dry Veg preparation that you would like to pack in your Lunch box, serve on the sides in your meal. Packed with nutrition, this cabbage preparation is loaded with flavors which makes it different than its other bland preparations.  Read along.

Have you ever experienced that silent antagonism spread in your house with your family members, after having discovered that you are cooking a preparation of cabbage, giving cold stares at you? Well that’s what happens at my place, every time I draw Cabbage out from refrigerator and place it on kitchen table top.

To counter this hostility, I need to accommodate wishes like ‘make a quick Omelette’, or ‘some fried fritters’ or be thoughtful and make some delicious Biryanis over the weekend. It was then, I learnt to experiment with this cabbage preparation and make it more flavorful to suit my families taste buds.

Now, this preparation of Cabbage paired with green peas is my family’s favorite and I end up making it every time I have a fresh stock of Cabbage in my kitchen.
