Cabbage Noodles with Saag

Cabbage Noodles with Saag is a delightful keto-friendly twist on traditional Indian pasta. This dish combines tender cabbage 'noodles' with a rich and creamy saag made from spinach and spices, offering a wholesome and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Cabbage - 200 grams
• Spinach - 150 grams
• Ghee - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green chili - 1, finely chopped
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cream - 50 ml
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Start by preparing the cabbage noodles. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it into quarters, and slice it thinly to create noodle-like strips.
2. In a large pan, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
3. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Stir in the turmeric and coriander powder, mixing well before adding the spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts down, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add the cream to the spinach mixture, stirring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6. In a separate pot, boil water and add the cabbage noodles. Cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but still firm.
7. Drain the cabbage noodles and combine them with the saag mixture in the pan. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly.
8. Serve hot, garnished with additional cream or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
