the recipe for cabbage rice is extremely simple to prepare, yet some tips, recommendations and serving ideas. firstly, you can use any types of cabbage for this rice recipe. i personally prefer the greenish white cabbage but the purple or red cabbage should also work. secondly, i would heavily recommend using dry rice or leftover rice to prepare this recipe. freshly prepared steam rice may contain moisture and hence the end result may be sticky and may reduce the spice and taste level. also, you can use both sona masuri or basmati rice for cabbage pulao. lastly, the rice should taste ideal when served by itself or with raita. but tastes amazing when served with peanut chutney or mirchi ka salan curry too.
