I have used just green chilies in this recipe. That’s because I love to keep it bright yellow color intact. So, I don’t add any red chili powder to it. But you could add it if you like it better that way. This recipe calls for a bit more oil because besan needs to be roasted properly. Let’s start with this simple pata gobi ki sabzi recipe now. This recipe yields 2-3 servings. For the purpose of measurement, 1 cup = 250 ml.

  • Now cover the skillet with a plate-like lid and pour 3/4 cup of water on the plate. Turn the heat to low and let the cabbage cook till it’s done. This usually takes 15-20 minutes. The water on the plate prevents burning of the cabbage and facilitates faster cooking. Stir the cabbage after every 8 minutes just to be sure. Replenish the water on the plate if it dries out and the cabbage it’s done yet.
