(Read fully — each step is like Maa guiding you)

Step 1 — Prep:

Chop the cabbage thin, dice carrot & potato, chop onion & tomato. Keep everything ready — cooking is calm when prep is done.

Step 2 — Tempering:

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a heavy pan. Add cumin seeds and a pinch of hing. When they sing, add finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

Step 3 — Spices:

Add turmeric, ginger-garlic paste and sauté 30–40 seconds. The aroma will make you smile — I promise.

Step 4 — Veggies:

Add carrots, potato and peas. Stir for 2 minutes so they get a little roast and color.

Step 5 — Cabbage:

Add sliced cabbage and chopped tomatoes. Mix well so cabbage starts to wilt and absorb flavors.

Step 6 — Add broth:

Pour 500 ml vegetable broth (or water), add salt & pepper. Bring to boil, then simmer 10–12 minutes until vegetables are soft.

Step 7 — Blend (optional):

For a smooth soup, cool slightly and blend half (or all) in a blender. For chunky texture, leave as is. Both taste like home.

Step 8 — Finish & serve:

Temper with a tadka of ghee & crushed garlic if you like, garnish with coriander and squeeze of lemon. Serve hot with toasted bread or steamed rice.

Over-salting before the broth reduces — taste after simmering.
Adding too much oil — keep it light to enjoy the soup’s natural flavors.
Undercooking cabbage — it should be tender, not crunchy, for best texture.
