6 📢 Daily Contest #11 : My Favourite Vegetable - Cabbage | Entry by @nabanitad

I am happy to participate in the daily contest where I have been given the opportunity to talk about my favourite vegetable.

When I read the clause "favourite vegetable", I immediately thought of "Cabbages". Although, I love eating and shopping vegetables but cabbage is a vegetable that I add in almost all my dishes whether those are included in daily diet or I am making any fast food.

The freshness of each leaf, the crunchiness and flavours it contains makes me love it the most!

Cabbages are very much friendly with any kind of dish. I add them in my chicken clear soup, vegetable curry, stir fried chow mein, soup noodles and even fried cabbages with a little twist of South Asian spices.

This is the second most bought vegetable in my grocery list besides onion. I love it in any dish so much that I mother often scolds me for buying it for inflated price during summer and monsoon. As cabbages are grown in winter season, here in our part of India, these are very expensive during other times of the year except winter.

Here you can see the healthiest recipe I make with cabbage! My favourite Chicken egg drop soup with veggies 😋.

I definitely put a large amount of cabbage in it. Without cabbage, the soup feels dull for me. It adds more flavours to the broath and makes it even better for my taste buds.

Stir fried chow mein is the most unhealthy food I make with Cabbage. The crunch and color it adds to the dish is my favourite.

I stir fry the cabbage with onion on medium heat before adding them to the boiled chow mein. I try to make sure it remains crunchy as well as cooked a little bit.

Price:

I have been to the market recently for my groceries and got a glimpse of my favourite vegetable in a corner.

It's monsoon time, the price goes upto even 40 rupees per Kg which is 0.54 USD per 2.2 pound.

During winter, you can buy every piece of cabbage at the lowest for even 2 rupees which is 0.02 USD per piece of cabbage.

This is a vegetable that you could find in my home for all over the year. My love for it is inevitable. Cabbage can fit into any main or side dish like a real friend.
