One-pot Cabbage Rice

This simple Cabbage Rice recipe is unbelievably easy and ridiculously tasty.

Do you ever feel like not cooking that much because of the tiring long day you had?? or simply because you are not in the mood to spend hours in the kitchen!! 

But you still need to feed the hungry mouths! Right!!. So chuck that Chakla and Belan off and Pull out your Pressure Cooker and get ready for the most delicious and one-pot rice recipe.

This recipe is dedicated to a long lost friend. We worked together in 2002 in the same Bank, her name is Anu. After my marriage we some how lost touch and I don't know where she lives or anything about her.

She frequently brought this cabbage rice in her tiffin box, it was a closed knit small family inside our office, we worked together, ate together and laughed together. It was our daily ritual of sharing tiffin with others, and I used to simply love the simple yet, aromatic flavor of this rice.  I feel very nostalgic whenever I cook this rice, which I do very often, on my daughter's demand.

Cabbage is shredded for this recipe and added to the rice and the only source of spice is freshly ground black pepper, and a simple tempering of cumin seeds fills your kitchen with its aroma as soon as you open the cooker lid.

Tastes great as is or with coconut curry, South-Indian korma or Paneer Ghee Masala
