Charred Patta Gobhi with Coconut Curry: A Recipe That Transforms Cabbage

Charred Patta Gobhi with Coconut Curry isn't just about cooking cabbage—it's about giving it a new life. The dish boasts beautifully charred and caramelized Patta Gobhi that's neither raw nor burnt but perfectly smoky. Paired with a rich coconut curry, this recipe makes cabbage the highlight of any meal.

Step 1: Preparing the Patta Gobhi

Start by cutting one Patta Gobhi (cabbage) into quarters and washing it thoroughly with salt water to clean it properly. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan, add 1/2 teaspoon of mustard seeds, a few curry leaves, and one slit green chili. Mix well before adding the Patta Gobhi quarters, ensuring they are well coated with the spices.

Step 2: Adding Aromatics

Add a few peeled Madras onions and garlic cloves to the pan, tossing them with the cabbage. Cover the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes until the gobhi is perfectly cooked and slightly charred. Flip the cabbage and continue cooking to get that beautiful smoky flavor on both sides.

Step 3: Creating the Flavored Sauce

To make the delicious sauce, blend together some of the charred onions and garlic with a handful of fresh coriander, 2 tablespoons of curry leaf podi, 3 tablespoons of tamarind pulp, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of jaggery. This combination creates a tangy, spicy, and aromatic sauce that pairs perfectly with the smoky gobhi.

Step 4: Cooking the Gobhi with Sauce

Spread the prepared sauce onto the charred cabbage and cook well from both sides to let the flavors infuse. In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil, add 1/2 teaspoon of mustard seeds, a few curry leaves, and 1 teaspoon of red chili powder. Mix well, then add any leftover sauce and cook for 4-5 minutes to thicken.

Step 5: Finishing with Coconut Curry

Add 1/2 cup of coconut milk to the pan, mixing well, and cook until the curry thickens into a rich, creamy sauce. Serve the charred gobhi with this flavorful coconut curry, garnishing with charred onions, garlic, crispy kara boondi, and fried curry leaves for an extra crunch.
