Cooking instructions

* Step 1

To make the Kobiche Bhanole, first wash the cabbage thoroughly using sufficient water. Chop it finely and set aside.

* Step 2

Chop finely the onions and the fresh coriander leaves and set aside.

* Step 3

Grind the ginger, garlic and green chillies to a paste.

* Step 4

Transfer all mentioned ingredients to a mixing bowl except the flours and mix well.

* Step 5

The cabbage and onions will release some water when they come in contact with salt.

* Step 6

Now add the flours and mix well. At this stage, add some water if required to get a thick mixture like that of a pakoda. But generally the water released by the vegetables will be enough to make the mixture thick enough.

* Step 7

Again, if required some more besan can be added if the mixture becomes too loose.

* Step 8

Heat a non stick, flat pan and add 2 tbs oil to it. Spread the above mixture on the pan evenly (making a fairly thick layer) and cover with a lid.

* Step 9

Cook on low flame for about 20 – 25 minutes or till the base is well roasted.

* Step 10

Uncover and place a flat plate over it. Holding the handle of the pan and the back of the plate tightly, upturn the half cooked bhanole on the plate.

* Step 11

Spread some oil again on the empty pan, and gently slide the uncooked side of the bhanole on the greased pan from the plate.

* Step 12

Cover and cook again for about 20 minutes approximately or till the flipped side too, is well roasted and the Bhanole is cooked.

* Step 13

When well roasted on both sides, transfer the bhanole to a plate and let cool a little.

* Step 14

Cut into squares of desired size and serve for breakfast or with lunch or dinner.

* Step 15

This nutritious breakfast dish doesn’t require dips and sauces as accompaniments. But still if preferred, the Bhanole can be relished with chutneys of choice or tomato ketchup!

* Step 16

The Kobiche Bhanole can be alternatively cooked in a pre-heated oven at 180° C for about 50 – 60 minutes or until done! It can then be cut into squares and served as it is or can be roasted on a pan using a little oil till crisp and a little browned!
