Cabbage - a beautiful greeny and leafy vegetable that most of the time gives the feel, "It is tasting better than Meat". Being rich in Vitamin A, C and K, cabbages are noticeably a super vegetable to get added to our healthy diet.
The Instant breakfast recipes that need no soaking, no grinding, no waiting, and no complicated ingredients should be the comfortable options in the busy-go world, isn't it? Those recipes should not only be very quick to make, but also should be healthy enough to make the body happy, and tasty enough to amaze the taste buds as well. One such healthy cum tasty recipe is Instant Cabbage Adai, and all that you need is lots and lots of cabbage along with a very few spices.
No matter whether the Cabbage is cooked or eaten raw, this simply super vegetable could transform a simple dish into a simply amazing dish. Having said that, Cabbage Chicken Roll and Crispy Cabbage Pakoda were the dishes that I had posted already in my blog.
Cabbage Adai or Cabbage Tikki is yet another recipe that is so new, so simple and very Instant that we can make it in just 15 minutes. The Cabbage Adai should be the right name for this recipe as the taste slightly resembles the traditional Adai Dosa. Unlike usual Adai, no rice and dal has been used in the recipe. Also, the look may lead you to conclude the recipe as Cabbage Tikki or Cabbage Cutlet, but it is not so. No boiled potatoes are used in the recipe to end up with the crispy outer layer.
So, let's call it Mini Cabbage Adai as it is small in the size of Tikki, and tastes even great than Adai Dosa. It would be so soft and spicy that never fails to give a cabbage crunch on each bite. It tastes so adorable and serves as a tummy-filling healthy breakfast. Since the Cabbage Adai can be enjoyed without any side dishes, it could be paired with Tomato ketchup, Tamarind sauce, or even Mayo to lift the taste of the Cabbage Adai. The recipe can also be served with coconut chutney or green chutney as per your choice.

- Add no water to the cabbage mixture. The chopped cabbage and the chopped onions tend to release water which in turn is enough to get the thick batter.
- When you mix the spices with the veggies, 'squeeze and mix'. Give good pressure to get the water content released.
- There is no need to wait once the mixing is done. Once the batter is ready, just go ahead by start preparing Adai.
- The Adai could either be shaped using hands or shaped directly over Tawa. Whichever way you follow, make sure to shape the cabbage Adai as thin as possible.
- While cooking, flip and press gently on top to get the cabbage Adai cooked completely from inside.
- Allow the Cabbage Adai to cook until golden brown on both sides. It takes no more than 2 minutes to get cooked fully.
Furthermore, this healthy cum tasty treat can be served for breakfast, brunch or even be served as an evening snack. I'm damn sure that the Cabbage Adai can be enjoyed thoroughly by the kids and the adults alike. So, why wait? Let's move on to the very tasty, healthy, simple and quick Mini Cabbage Adai recipe.
