    Dear Manjula,
    You have done it again. My husband is the “pea hater” and here is another recipe that he says I should absolutely make again. The other recipe with peas he loves is Mushroom with peas. I have made it several times. Thank you for your excellent recipes and videos.

    1. Manjula Jain

      Rena, Thank you, I feel this is my success

  2. Toni Jean

    I am a new and completely addicted fan of your blog and also purchased your ebook on Amazon! Thank you so much for your amazing work and sharing your wisdom! I made this and it was so wonderful (didnt have cilantro on hand so used methi leaves). The hing is incredible and adds so much flavor — definitely worth seeking out for those who don’t have it! I noticed that the directions say to add lemon but it is not listed in the ingredients. Is it just a squeeze? thanks again, Manjula! You are a Rock Star!!

    1. Manjula Jain

      Toni, thank you, sorry I forgot to show squeezing the lemon juice.

  3. Vinod

    Thank you for the awesome and yummy ???? yet simple dish. As my wife was away at her parents’ place I tried it out and kids really enjoyed it. One query – shouldn’t we add water while cooking the cabbage?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Vinod,
      depends on the cabbage, mostly cabbage is very moist and do not need any water, but some you do need to add few spoons, you will know while you are cooking.

  4. browndude03

    Yesterday, I cooked it using your simple recipe 🙂 I did not have frozen peas, hing, and cilantro; however, it was still delicious. My wife and I enjoyed eating it with wheat roti. One thing I could improve upon next time is to cut or shred my cabbage as well as yours. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

  5. matt nannery

    this tastes absolutely lovely, manjula. eating it now. savory and crunchy!
    i didn’t have any mustard seed and had to substitute fresh parsley–I still have some in my garden in rochester ny in november–for cilantro.
    beautiful blouse, btw.

  6. Cliona

    I love this recipe! When I cooked it the first time I had left overs but I kept going back to the kitchen to have a little extra spoonful. I can honestly say this is the first time I have craved a cabbage dish. I live in Ireland where cabbage is a very cheap winter vegetable so I am delighted to have found this recipe. I’ve been recommending your recipes to all my friends.

  7. Susan

    Aunty,This looks very interesting to me. I love cabbage and peas in any form. thankyou

  8. Taylor

    Oh, oh, oh! You are my heroine forever! I made your naan and the bund gobi and mater for dinner tonight. My friends said “from what take away did you get this”? Hehehehe…I made them myself with the help of a secret friend :). They did not believe me!!!! I am trying every single dish you have presented and will try to keep up. Thank you so, so much.

  9. Sheri

  12. Sam

    Tried this tonight ! It was fabulous with balti butter chicken ! Shame I don’t seem to be able to master the art of making roti .

  13. Nivedita

    Made this today and my husband just loved it. I even called up my Mom in India and gave her this recipe! Both of us are a bit bored of the traditional Bengali cabbage subji….plus this cooks in a jiffy. Thanks for sharing.

  14. MissDoloresD

    I made this recipe yesterday with Aloo Dum and rice, my friends loved it, For dessert I made sweet rice. I will make this again soon, I loved the flavour, nice n fresh but a bit spicey.

  15. Shad

    You will serve this with moongdal? https://manjulalive.wpenginepowered.com/2010/12/05/moong-dal-soup/

    and Raita? Thank you.

  16. Claire

    I don’t see lemon listed in recipe. How
    much is used? Thanks.

    1. Suren

      About one tablespoon of lemon juice should do I think.

  17. Rekha

    hi Manjula ji,

    This recipe is so delicious…. I tried it just now 🙂 Thanks a lot ji…. I need to learn more from you…Keep Posting more recipes ji!!!

  18. sneha

    Hi Aunty,

    This is my fav subji since childhood. I just made it in the dinner and we both just loved the taste. It was awesome. Thanks for sharing such wonderful recipes.

  19. swann2b

    I made this today. Accidently added 1/2 inch grated ginger that was intended for another recipe. Turned out great. Thank you for this tasty recipe, Auntie !

  20. Cindy

    Wish you were my Aunt, but glad you are sharing your recipes with everyone. Can’t wait to try this. Thanks!

  21. Amruta

    Hi Aunty, Thanks for this recipe. I didn’t know that cabbage could be so tasty. I just made it with your easy recipe and it turned out to be great. Thanks again.

  22. amandeep

    Hi Aunty , me and my husband are not big fan of cabbage , so in 3 years we made it just twice and we couldnt eat it it tasted strange like cabbagey, ………BUT HUGE THANKS TO U when i tried YOUR recipe we ate whole sabzi….it taste so yummy…i love all ur recipes and it makes sense now that all my flavor was overpowered by onions …i never tasted actual sabzi till now …THANK U SO MUCH.

  23. Geetha

    Hello aunty…..
    Thank u very much for the recipes.
    I like your cooking very much.
    Can you post some more vegetable subjis….

  24. Archana

    Hi,
    I tried the cabbage green peas sabji. It came out really well. My husband really loved it.. also we loved the baingan aloo sabji.
    Thanks,

  25. Karen

    I made this yesterday my family loved it!

  26. snowmoonelk

    Dear Manjula, I have run out of black mustard sees, so can I use yellow mustard seeds instead?

    1. Jaya

      Yellow mustard seeds have a different flavor and are not the same as black mustard seeds. This recipe will still taste good without the mustard seeds. Just add cumin seeds in their place.

  27. purna

  28. Huma

    Dear Aunty,

    Thnx for such a brilliant website for newbies like me. I have just started cooking and you make it so simple.

    I had a question. some of your dishes have pinch of sugar added, like in this one. What is the role sugar plays in such dishes. Can you please help me understand as well as Hing?

  29. Mari

    Hello Aunty!

    and mouthwatering recipes! You are great and your recipes are so different and lovely.

  33. Betty

    I like to cook and I have been learning to cook Indian food since I got marriage with my Indian husband Revan, he is from South of India and I’m Spaniard, so you can imagine both love spicy and tasty food. Your explanations are wonderful, very easy to follow, I’ve cooked dosas, dals, some curries and include your kheer, so yummy. Thank you so much, you are the best.

    1. Betty

      And I forgot, I love your cabbage with peas, one of my favorites.

  35. Rashmi Malhotra

    Manjula Aunty,I really look up to your simple logic and the tips on practically everything in your website.

    Please tell me how sugar helps the cabbage -peas dish. Further most dishes I come across call for sugar to be added after the cooking while this one asks for it to be added along with the salt itself.

  36. Lisa

    Hi Manjula,
    I love to cook and I have been learning to cook Indian food since I moved to (England from the US) to marry. Like many Britons, my husband loves Indian food (but I had only tried this cuisine a few times). I have since fallen in love with Indian food! I especially love the way I can cook for a lot of people (just by increasing the number of dishes I cook) and how everyone always seems to enjoy themselves. I even cook for my Indian friends from time to time (in exchange for some cooking tips and recipes from them, of course!).
    Tonight my husband Steve made a vegetarian pilau with peas and potatoes. I had a cabbage in the fridge so I dashed to the computer to look for a recipe for cabbage. I found your “Bund gobi with matar” recipe (and video). I must say, being able to watch the video before cooking the dish is fantastic! I had the dish on our dinner table within the hour. We loved the dish – it went perfectly with our pilau and a tarka daal I made. Fantastic! Thank you so much! I will be visiting your website and blog often! Keep up the good work.
    Best wishes for 2010, Lisa

  37. Rachel Williams

    I have only been cooking Indian dishes for about 2 years and I still have trouble chosing what will be a good dish to serve with it.

    I especially love the way you tell what other dishes you will serve with your recipes. You are appreciated!

    hi aunti

  39. Shayri Patel

    can you add garlic to these recipes? you dont use garlic in your dishes is this optional or just the traditional way of making gujarati shaks

  40. Pamela S

    I love this dish and would always get it at my favorite Indian restaurant but lately they haven’t had it on their buffet. I was delighted to find the recipe here. I made it for dinner tonight and it was delicious. I followed the recipe exactly except I didn’t have any asafetida. The next time I make it, I am going to add the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes or so of cooking so they will stay bright green.

  41. SAM PATEL

    Wow, I made and it was real quick and delicious!

  42. Lana

    This is one of my favorite dishes. It’s so quick and simple, yet so delicious. I don’t care for frozen peas, so when I don’t have fresh ones, I usually just leave them out and use only one tablespoon of oil. I also usually core, seed and quarter the green peppers lengthwise, adding them at the same time as the cabbage instead of leaving them whole and adding them earlier. Western cooks can substitute garlic powder if asafetida isn’t available.

  43. Jennidy

    Wow, I just made this and it is really wonderful and delicious!

  44. ram

    wonderful prepration

    I tried this recipe and it came out great. My husband liked it too. One small change that I made is, I added 1/2 tspn of Dhania powder as well.
    I have tried lot of your recipes, like Bindi Masala, which go very well with Chapathis. All thanks to you.

  52. John

    Don’t you keep like a bottle of lemon Juice in your Fridge. If not “U” don’t have to put it.

  53. siddu

    I did not see “LEMON” in the required items list and at the end of recipe it appeared suddenly. If you can correct this kind of messups, your recipes would be really awesome.

    1. ana

      HI Siddu!
      i think u did not watch the video, she mention about the lemon juice in that.
      Thanks

  54. Sudha

    Hello Manjula-ji,

    thank you

    I missed a word…..*Usually most people don’t use those cups 🙂

  57. Natalie

    Hi Manjula,
    I wish you were my mom! Thank you for sharing your delicious healthy recipes!

  58. Melisser

    I made this dish tonight for my husband & I, we loved it! We managed to eat all of it & can’t wait to make it again! Thank you Manjula!

  59. Monica

    Namaste Manjula,
    I love Cabbage and I tried this receipe – it turned out very well. Thanks so much .I guess the addition of peas and sugar made a big difference in the taste. Another great production. Thanks. Monica

  60. Erik

    Thank you for your wonderful recipes and instructions. Keep up the excellent work.
    I was just wondering, would this recipe still work if I replaced the peas with chick peas (chana)?
    Thanks.

    1. Manjula Jain

      It should work

    2. Jaya

      Since some canned chickpeas are fairly firm out of the can, you may want to boil them seperately to soften them a little more before adding to the cabbage. Your choice, just a thought if you don’t want the chickpeas to be too firm mixed with the soft cabbage.

      Flavor wise, it should taste good as I have done this in the past too. It’s a good way to add protein to the dish!

  61. sreeram srinivas

    Namaste Auntie,
    Your website and vidoes are excellent for men like us doing self cooking & surving. They give us and make us understand the
    nuances of the cooking a dish. Recipe with visuals = Excellent…… You are the best Auntie.

    With regards,

  62. Shivani

    Hi Auntie,
    In Cabbage SAMBHARO, What happens is when you cook cabbage, it relieves lot
    of water so what is the solution? I want like real SAMBHARO , We eat in INDIA.
    Thanks.

    1. Jaya

      What does “sambharo” mean? Do you have the word in English or Hindi?

      If you want the cabbage to be drier, remove the lid after it is cooked and allow the steam to escape. After a few minutes, it will be dry – just remember to stir it so it doesn’t burn on the bottom.

      1. Monica

        I love cabbage. Thanks for the tip Jaya.

  63. Kathryn Louis

    When you cook for your family normally, do you measure everything out into those tiny cups? Where did you get the little cups? I’ll make this dish soon. We eat a great deal of cabbage and dal in winter.

    1. Aarti C

      Kathryn, Usually most people don’t those cups, however I have a tiny measuring spoon that helps as well. The measurement of masala usually depends on YOUR taste and preference. When it comes to adding masala’s a little more or a little less doesn’t really change the recipe much.
