Cabbage Foogath – Goan Vegetable Stir Fry is a quick and easy side dish infused with fresh ginger. A perfect compliment to any meal!
I am loving this exploration into the variety of Indian regional cuisine I am inspired to do, on behalf of my BM themes. This week I will be focusing on the food of Goa. Goa is one of my favorite Indian cuisines, with their Portuguese influenced spicy flavors and abundant use of fish and seafood, due to their coastal location. I have already made several Goan recipes on this blog, including a complete Goan Thali here.
Although I have decided to use cabbage, foogath can be made with other vegetables also. Green beans is another common variety of foogath. A foogath is basically a dry curry made with a lot of coconut.
This type of quick stir fry is popular in many Indian states, especially in South India. Let’s have a look at some other quick Indian stir fries.

…linking to Winter Foods,
This is very similar to our south Indian preparation without the ginger. As you mentioned even carrot, beans, cluster beans and broad beans preparation are very similar to this. Nice to know even Goans have a similar thing.
This is one Goan dish I am very well familar with and cook regularly. :
) Looks Perfect.
Awesome goan dish… never try any goan dish
I love cabbage cooked this way — left simple, lightly spiced with the sweetness of coconut. Healthy & delicious dish.
