OMG I love this cabbage! Since my cabbage was small I did half the amount; added 1/4 basmati rice and 2 -3 cups of vegan broth ; you curry spice was excellent but since I don’t like cumin, I did a pinch.

Thank you for teaching me how to cook this healthy recipe

I grow cabbage mainly for this recipe! We are on the Daniel fast right now and this is one of my favorites! Thank you!

My favorite foods, I love how you make It

I grew heaps of cabbages at one time, then wasn't sure what to do with them. 
I am very pleased with this recipe. Following others I have tried adding chick peas or lentils. Absolutely beautiful with mashed sweet potato. Thank you

Thank you for sharing this skills of cooking this recipe

Sooooo good. I made the recipe to a T the first go. Hubby thought it was too much cabbage and not heavy enough. So the 2nd go I cut the cabbage down and added a can of Chickpeas and a bit more carrot. We served it with quinoa. That brought in some more peotein and the combo was great.  When I cook quinoa I like using Veg broth instead water for even mire flavor. Thx for sharing this recipe! I never know what to do with cabbage lol

Just made this for the 1st time smells, looks , and taste amazing... I added some shredded grilled chicken to it right before the cabbage went in..... With rice and biscuits

So rich and flavourful! I added a can of lentils to up the protein, and followed the recommendation of red cabbage and serving with rice! So good! I added extra curry powder (1-2 tsp curry powder, PLUS the spices recommended) to balance the flavour after adding the lentils. Will be making again!

This was absolutely lovely!  I made exactly as is with the exception of adding a couple handfuls of frozen rice I wanted to get rid of.  I will definitely be making this again.  Thank you!

I’ve made this and absolutely love it but was wondering if red cabbage would work as well?

This has become one of my go-to recipes over the past couple of years. So easy to make and i love to make it extra spicy. Great way to get something comforting that is veggie forward.

Love it. I didn’t have coconut milk so blended cashews in water to make cashew milk in the vitamix. I’m doing a liver cleanse

Dear Michelle,
My husband and I loved your curry cabbage soup!   The flavors were wonderful.  My teaspoon of the spices were heaping and made the soup vibrant.   Thanks so much for this wonderful new way to serve cabbage.

I love cabbage and wanted to try something different. Very good! Thanks for sharing.

This recipe ROCKS! Was looking for a new way to make cabbage and came across this. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I cooked the onions untill they were brown and sweet. Used fresh turmeric and thyme, added a small jar of curry paste and cooked it low and slow for about 5 hours to bring out the flavors. We ate it as a soup. Perfect!

I added chickpeas to make this curry a complete meal. Just delicious and perfect comfort food in cold weather and challenging times.

Made this on a cold winter night. It was so comforting, cozy, and delicious. Absolutely warming to the soul. The family enjoyed it. Thank you for a healthy and appetizing meal!

These were soooo yummy. This is the only way I make our cabbage now. It was quick and easy and my kids actually ate them! 😅

Hi Michelle 
Are you able to freeze this curry cabbage.

Can I use carton coconut milk instead of canned? I have one can as well but I bought it for my vegan cinnamon roll recipe. If it is necessary I'll go get more.

This soup is delicious. I season 4 chicken thighs with curry seasoning, brown them on both sides. Then put them in the soup when the soup is ready to simmer for 20 mins and then they finish cooking like that. I also use curry powder in place of the turmeric, coriander &amp; cumin. Ive also used a bag of coleslaw (shredded cabbage and carrots) to save time time.

I've also used a little bit of coconut extract (1/2 tsp) mixed with nondairy milk (1 cup) as a substitute. It lightens up the recipe for a delicious side as opposed to the main dish. I love this recipe.

I don’t always have coconut milk on hand - although I do try to - what would you suggest as a substitute, if any? Thanks. I have made this once already and it was very good! I made it to have for lunch, with a slice of bread on the side. No rice.

Hi! I thought this recipe was delicious! I was just wondering if you knew how much fiber this meal had per serving? I'm currently doing the vegan keto diet and was trying to figure out the net carbs.

I served it with a piece of white fish, and it was sooooo good!

I love cabbage and curry. Can't wait to try this. Thank you!

This was very good!
I was confused by coriander until I realized there was no curry
 Powder in the recipe. When I looked it up it said that Curry could be substituted. So was that what made the cabbage Curry cabbage? I wasn't sure so I used both. At any rate it was a nice change from the regular cabbage that I make. I also used broth instead of water. Thank you very much I have recommended it to several friends.

I came across this Curry Cabbage a few weeks ago while we were on the Daniel Fast for church. I'm always looking for a recipe my husband will go back for seconds, because so many recipes we've had in the past all blend together. After I made it, he went back for seconds and then brought leftovers for lunch. Success! Making it again tonight but adding a little shredded chicken on the side. Thank you so much!

Added mushrooms and tofu!  It was very good.

This was yummy! We enjoyed with brown rice.  Thank you for the free recipes!

Cooking this right now had no thyme so added rosemary and chilli with a little ginger , smells amazing thank you for this lovely recipe. I can now enjoy cabbage and not just in a soup.
Thank you Tania

Sooo good!!! Added finely chopped potatoes and a red bell pepper. Shared it with a friend and she loved it-now she wants the recipe too. Thank you!!!

This is a new staple in my cooking. I add potatoes so it's a one pot meal.  So delicious!

This recipe I will tweak by eliminating the oil for sauteing the veggies. I will let you know how it turned out.

Positively delicious and light yet filling

I used to hate cabbage up until I came across your recipe and a new love story began. More so my husband liked it so much he wants me to cook this every other day. This recipe gets a 5 star + Mwah

I just cooked this delicious curry. I added small amount of ginger and Kashmir chilli powder for a little kick. I also added 2 new potatoes diced and a chicken stock cube.

I wish I could post a photo of my attempt. I used veggie stock. I added new potatoes and small amount of fresh ginger plus a half tsp of Kashmir chilli. Really delicious. Thanks

This is yummy, I used coleslaw cabbage and added chicken and more carrots.  It was quick, easy and scrumptious.

I made this today. It is simply wonderful. I made a pig of myself. I kept filling my bowl.

Hi, I new to the healthy food blogging thing, Im just enthusiastic about sharing flavorful and healthy food that is inexpensive and easy to prep.   I was about to journal my curry cabbage so I looked up recipes and found you.  I am truly inspired. Thank you

I made this as part of my New Year's supper. EVERYONE loved it and went back for seconds.

Ahhh Michelle, Merry Christmas! This  cabbage is delicious! Between my husband and kids I barely got any. 

Your recipes have never failed me! Have your lemon pound cake baking right now :)

Healthier Steps is dominating the bookmarks on my phone. 

Keep em coming! We need a zucchini bread recipe too :)

This is a nice simple recipe with great combination of ingredients.  I will say however that the results are very dependent on the coconut milk used. To get the results like shown in the photos I assume you used a very light coconut milk - in contrast to the very thick high fat milk I use in Thai cooking.  I anticipated and used half a can with 1-1/4 cup of liquids and it still came out a bit thick and heavy on coco milk flavor. Added 2 Thai red chilis and 1/2 tsp of garam masala to round it out.  I will make again with lite coco milk.  Very tasty.

Just made this as written. It’s delicious.

I made this tonight.  I made a few adjustments, added a cilantro, garlic, spinach, soaked cashew (for creaminess) chutney, and sprinkled liberally with fresh lemon juice. So incredibly delicious! Made the dish international. ;) Thank you for this recipe.

Simple easy and delicious!! I added a little sweetner and white potatoes. When I lifted the lid I knew this recipe was a keeper. It’s saved in my IPhone notes. Can’t wait to try this sauce with pumpkin.

Thanks for the great recipe and greetings from Hungary! My version: I put some pumpkin cut into cubes into the curry besides the carrots and the cabbage. It tastes great with it. :)

aw thank you so much! Going whole foods/ plant based vegan is helping me with healing and my spirit! The power of plants is amazing.

This is amazing and quick to make. I have chronic illnesses, so I like to look for easy recipes so I don't need to be on my feet too long. It's also good bc you can chop and get the seasonings ready a day in advance, so cooking is even quicker for me. I like to add additional carrots and cauliflower goes well with this dish. 
My dad and everyone on his side of the family are from Jamaica, as well. I gave some to a Jamaican family friend who loved it and I gave her the link to your recipe. Will have to make some for my grandparents next. :) thank u!

This looks super yummy, can't wait to try it!

I had quite a bit of leftover cabbage from another recipe so was looking for a way to use it. I made this using a curry paste and added cauliflower and tofu—it was amazing! Healthy, versatile and quick!

I have made this a couple of times. It is even faster (already so quick) if you use an Instant Pot. 2 minutes low pressure and 5 natural pressure release after onions and garlic sautéed. I end up adding about 4 carrots and as many cloves of garlic. Great recipe!

Hi Susie I take a picture of recipes with my phone then I have them for later

I love cabbage and just discovered your website. Looking forward to trying this and other recipes!

I made this and it was great.. So easy but good. My husband was like “ there is no fish or chicken in this and still taste so good”.?? He hasn’t eaten meat for years but he just saying it still taste great.

I made this tonight, and it was fantastic! Everyone loved it. I will definitely be making it again!

Thank you for this yummy recipe...I made some adjustments like adding more thyme, diced sweet potato and red pepper flakes........OHMYGOODNESS!! thanks again

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.

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.

I made this for my meal prep for the week, served it over brown rice. It tasted good and was very filling.

This was so easy to make, I served it with quinoa and it was so delicious ?
