ಎಲೆಕೋಸು ರೈಸ್ ಬಾತ್ | ಎಲೆಕೋಸು ಮಸಾಲೆ ಬಾತ್ | ಎಲೆಕೋಸು ಅನ್ನ

A very easy to make and tasty rice dish with lot of health benefits. I prefer to cook this dish specially during winters as we get fresh & good quality cabbage here in Gurgaon at that time.

Half – cup of cooked cabbage would provide 47 % of your vitamin C needs for the day. Cabbage is low in calories, fat where as high in fiber. As a green leafy vegetable … cabbage has many many more health benefits.

Altogether this rice is a healthy meal and ideal to pack for tiffin box as well. Today as an accompaniment to go with this rice dish, I have served this with beetroot-pomegranate raita. Many a times I pair this rice bath along with lentil raita/bele raita as well.

Grind everything under the heading ”for grinding” to a fine paste using 1/2 cup of water

Heat oil, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves & onion and fry for two minutes, then add cabbage and stir for two minutes
