Cabbage sambharo recipe - This is nothing but the Gujarati style warm cabbage salad. It is QUICK and EASY to make. This is my go to side salad when I make roti, sabzi for our meal.
The key to make it perfect is that cabbage should remain crunchy; it should not be cooked all the way through.
It has slight spicy taste from slit green chilies. Also it has very subtle flavor of curry leaves that added in tempering. Few drops of lemon juice at the end give an extra zing to the dish.
There are many varieties of sambharo recipes like carrot sambharo and papaya sambharo.
I have seen many bloggers making cabbage and carrot sambharo mixed. But honestly I have never tried that combo, I should try some time. I make only cabbage one or only carrot one separately just because my mom makes it that way and this is how I grew up eating.
Some household add pinch of turmeric powder in it, if you like you can add.
If you are one of those who likes to take a small bite of fried chili or chili pickle during their meal then I strongly recommend that during the tempering fry slit green chilies little longer (so it gets crispy and fried) and then add curry leaves. Those chilies will be fantastic in taste.

Hi kanan
Yr recipes r too good. I try some paneer dishes. All were delicious. Can u please make khajas and share the recipe.
Thx.

Glad to know your liked the recipes
Can u make pista ice cream with out corn syrup.

I add carrot and haldi too, taste awesome too. This looks perfect match for roti.
I will definitely try the combo. 🙂 Btw I wonder, why don't you ever enter your website link with your name while commenting.
I never added link from the beginning, because when i used to visit "senior"bloggers sites, they already mentioned in their blogs that don't post it with your link, and they take out their frustration now on FB too that new bloggers are always add their link and its not good and blah blah so I didn't even try that.
you can always leave a link in the website field. all the bloggers including me says that never leave a link in "comment box". But you can definitely leave your link at website url box. Thus you get clickable link on your name in comment. just like everyone can click on 'Kanan'. everyone will approve this link. but link in comment box will not be approved. Hope you get what I am saying.
i got it what u r saying
Thanks Kanan for sharing this great recipe. Had tasted it in restaurants serving gujarati thalis and really liked it ( a combo of carrot and cabbage). Did not know it was so simple to prepare!!. I think adding crushed peanuts or sesame to this would further amp up the flavor.
I will try cabbage and carrot combo sometime because I am really eager to taste it. Yes Anjana you got me, I have also shot photos for carrot sambharo and I have added sesame seeds to it. this one is I kept plain because this is how I make in regular basis.. just like add couple of ingredients in tadka, mix... boom.. and straight to the table, goes rapidly in my belly. 🙂
