Whenever we talk about green veggies, one of the
popular names that strike in our mind is cabbage. Strong reason for this is
that as a fresh and a green leafy vegetable, it gives tons of nutritional
benefits with low amount of calories and fat. However, as the nature of a human being, he or she
gives priority to taste rather than overall health while choosing any food
item, including the mentioned green veggie i.e. cabbage.
Thus, in order to give
a perfect blend between excellent taste and good health, we have introduced a
few tasty and healthy recipes prepared with cabbage in combination with some
other veggies in small amounts. In addition, to meet the objective of diet-friendly
recipe or gluten-free recipe, we have used sorghum i.e. jowar flour and gram
flour i.e. besan instead of Maida. These include the following-
·
Cabbage Kathi Rolls and
·
Cabbage Cutlets
Note-Initial preparation and stuffing for both of
these recipes are similar, but the difference lies in the shape and extent of
frying cutlets and rolls in a pan.
Ingredients Required
·
1 small size or half big size of cabbage
·
Handful of green peas
·
1 small size carrot
·
1 tomato
·
2 to 3 green chilies
·
Ginger garlic in clove forms or as paste
·
Cumin seeds
·
Oil (mustard oil is preferable)
·
Turmeric powder
·
Chili powder
·
Chili sauce
·
Tomato sauce
·
Schezwan chutney
·
Coriander powder
·
Cumin powder
·
Garam masala
·
Salt to taste
·
Jowar/sorghum 1 cup
·
Besan/gram flour of half cup
Preparation
of the Stuffing
To start the preparation, you have to chop each of
the veggies finely and place into a mixer grinder to make a semi-solid type of
paste.
·
Heat one or two tablespoon of oil in a
pan and add cumin seeds
·
Add the semi-solid mixture in the pan
·
Add each of the aforementioned spices
and sauces one by one.
·
Add salt to taste
·
If required add only a few amount of
water to avoid sticking of the paste
·
Stir occasionally for a while
·
Your stuffing becomes ready and keep it for
some time to cool
Preparation
of Dough
To prepare the dough, you have to mix the stuffing
with sorghum and gram flours with a pinch of salt and 1tablespoon of oil.
Here, you have to prepare a bit hard dough, so that
you may easily prepare cutlet or roll in the later steps.
Preparation
of Rolls or Cutlets
For
Kathi Rolls
· Take a small size of the dough and make
it just like a shape of a thin roll i.e. or stick (a kathi in Hindi)
·
Repeat the procedure for each of the
dough’s pieces.
·
Heat the oil in a pan and fry it.
·
In case of rolls, you have to opt for
deep fry.
·
Finally, you should serve the rolls hot
with pickle, curd, chutney or sauce.
For
Cutlets
·
In case of cutlets, you have to make
flat shapes before fry them in a pan.
·
Here, you may go with either shallow fry
or deep fry depending on your taste buds and other health requirements.
Once
you complete the process, serve the cutlets hot with any type of sauce or
chutney of your own choice.
