Cabbage Peas Curry | Cabbage Peas Kura | Patta Gobi aur Matar ki Sabzi

While we enjoy all kinds of food and look for new cuisines to explore, there is something about simple, home-cooked food that always draws us to it. A very good example of this kind of food is this easy to make Cabbage Peas Curry. It is the ultimate comfort food and is a dish always welcome in our home.

I had first posted this recipe for Cabbage Peas Kura (as we call it in Telugu) in July 2013 and have never updated it since. Now that I am at home because of the COVID19 Pandemic, I am getting time to photograph these every day meals. 

In this time, I also have two criteria for posting recipes:

1. The recipe should use ingredients that are easily available even in a lockdown.
2. The recipe should be easy so that even people who are first-time cooks or cook only occasionally can try immediately.

This Cabbage Peas Curry ticks both the boxes and so here I am with this recipe.  

Eat this curry as a side dish to Perugu Annam | Daddojanam | Thayir Sadam | Curd Rice) or Sambar Rice. You will be in heaven! 🙂

I first posted this recipe in June 2013 and am now updating it with better pictures and detailed instructions.

How to Make Cabbage Peas Curry

Serves: 4

Time: 25 Minutes

Ingredients

1. Cabbage, Patta Gobi – 350 gms
2. Peas – 1/2 cup (75 gms)
3. Grated Coconut – 4 tbsp (optional)
4. Water – 1/3 Cup
5. For Tempering
   1. Oil – 1 tsp
   2. Rai or Mustard Seeds – 1/2 tsp
   3. Udad Dal or Husked Black Gram – 1 tsp
   4. Green Chillies – 2 or 3
   5. Curry Leaves – A Few
   6. Salt to Taste

Method to Make Cabbage Peas Curry 

1. Chop the cabbage into 1/4″ pieces. If you chop them finer, the curry has a tendency to become soggy.
2. In a wide pan or kadai, over medium heat, heat the oil.
3. Add mustard seeds and wait till they crackle.
4. Add udad dal and stir-fry till it turns golden brown.
5. Add curry leaves and slit green chillies, and stir-fry for a few seconds. Step back a bit when you add curry leaves because they tend to make the oil splutter and splash occasionally because of the water content in them.
