This quick and easy Curry Cabbage will be a sure hit! It is not only healthy but astonishingly full of flavor!
Curry cabbage is another quick dish that I could prepare for my husband seven days a week and he would still be happy to eat. He usually enjoys it with brown rice or quinoa and a salad with avocados. So this afternoon as he went to pick up our daughter Devannah from work, I decided to surprise him with one of his favorite dishes. He also like my other curry dishes, Jamaican Spicy Curry Potatoes, Chickpea Curry with Quinoa, Thai Coconut Curry Tofu and Butternut Squash Curry.
Cabbage is packed with nutrients, a member of the cruciferous vegetable family known to prevent cancer. Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin C which provides anti-inflammatory benefits and protects coronary arteries from damage. Curry cabbage is also gluten-free, low in fat and allowed in phase 1 candida diet if carrots are omitted.

Great recipe for using a cabbage as a main not just a side dish! Thank you!

I am obsessing over the pictures of this. Going to make it tonight. Have a cold and think is exactly what I need. Might be delicious with some yellow potatoes too? Thanks for sharing.

Dawn
How many carrots did you use, and did you cook them along with the cabbage, or before and then add them? Looking forward to making this on the weekend :)
Michelle Blackwood
Dawn, one carrot I cooked along with the recipe. Hope you enjoy!
Meagan
Hi, does this dish have a coconut flavor due to the coconut milk? I don’t like coconut flavor… Thanks
Michelle Blackwood
Meagan, omit coconut milk and substitute with 1/4 cup cashews blend in 1/2 cup water.

I just made this dish and it’s amazing. The flavor profile from the spices and the coconut milk was insanely good. I made the dish in my pressure cooker which intensified the flavors also. I served the cabbage over jasmine rice. This will definitely be a go to recipe for me from now on. Thank you.
Michelle Blackwood
I’m so happy you loved it, I’ll have to try it in a pressure cooker. I love Jasmine and Basmati rice, yum!
Antoinette
I made this for my meal prep for the week, served it over brown rice. It tasted good and was very filling.

Hi Mi Chelle :>),
I’m about to take the journey to prepare your curry cabbage. I will let you know how it goes…

Hello Rich, you are very welcome. Enjoy the journey!
Diane Kelly
Hi Michelle!
I am making this Curry Cabbage…but I noticed that you don’t use curry seasoning. Is this because the cumin, thyme, turmeric & corainder is what makes the curry seasoning? For some reason, I always thought that curry was a separate spice, a spice of it’s own. I hope I am making sense here… Thank you in advance for any help!
Blessings,
Diane
Michelle Blackwood
Hello Diane, that’s exactly what I did, I broke down the spices because I wanted the recipe to come out exactly how I made it because no two curry powder formula are the same. Jamaican curry taste different from Thai curry and Indian curry if you get me
