Cabbage Matar is a light and nutritious North Indian dry vegetable preparation featuring shredded cabbage and sweet green peas.

Tips & Secrets
- Shred the cabbage finely and uniformly; this allows it to cook very quickly while maintaining its signature crunch.
- Do not overcook the cabbage; it should remain vibrant and translucent rather than becoming yellowish and mushy.
- Adding a small amount of grated coconut as a garnish is a great variation found in South Indian versions of this dish.
- Avoid adding any water; the inherent moisture in the cabbage is enough to steam it perfectly under a lid.
