Punjabi Cabbage

This is a Northern Indian cabbage recipe, packed full of vegetables, pulses and spices. Make it hot if you like things that way. Personally, I like a lot of spice and hardly any heat

When I first made this, we had it with Matar Paneer (cheesey peas) and a home made Naan. This was a good combination of flavours and textures

Vegan and gluten free

This Punjabi dish is vegan and gluten free if that is of interest to you. Alternatively, you may be looking for dairy free and gluten free recipes. My brother is coeliac, and this often comes with a sensitivity to lactose as well, as if avoiding gluten on its own wasn’t difficult enough
