Cabbage Potato Curry- Stir Fried cabbage and Potato curry -specialty from Bengal

Cabbage Potato Curry -Today I am posting my children’s favorite patta gobhi aloo ki sabzi .I learned this from my neighbor whose mother-in-law was a Bengali. I am not sure whether  this is an authentic Bengali recipe or her own creation.

The shredded cabbage is roasted in the tempering which gave a delicious taste to the cabbage potato curry. It taste just awesome and I am sure you all will love this delicious curry which goes well with roti and rice both.

How to make Bengali style Cabbage Potato Curry

This Bengali style Patta gobhi Aloo sabzi recipe is quite different then the usual recipe of making cabbage curry. Usually we just chop cabbage and add in the tempering and cook. But for making this curry first the  cabbage is chopped finely .

After chopping it is added in the tempering and stir fried till the cabbage turn slight brown at the edges. The real taste of cabbage potato curry comes from the roasted cabbage so do it properly. Then tomatoes are added and cooked till soft and pulpy. After making them pulpy then spices and potato chunks are added in stir fried. Finally water is added and cooked on low heat. The quantity of water can be slightly adjusted as per your requirement.
