Its easy to make, quick and can be enjoyed with a raita / kadhi . I am not a big fan of cabbage but husband is.I try to hunt recipes so that carrot can be consumed in an indirect form .This recipe is my mausis.I found it in the zeroxed version of recipes which she had given to me at the time of my marriage .As a concept, it seems weird to put cabbage in rice, but this variation of a Marathi recipe is ideal for kids and adults.
