An easy dish which can be prepared at home in restaurant style.
I adapted this recipe from Chef Venkatesh bhat method; his trip and tricks helped in obtaining the perfect texture.

- Strain the water and keep the cooked rice aside.
- In a pan, add 1 tsp olive oil, 1/4 cup chopped cabbage, 1 tsp chopped spring onion whites and saute for 2 mins.

Notes
- Adding sugar helps in retaining the color of the vegetables.
- Don't overcook the rice; else it would become mushy.
- Here I have used purple cabbage; can use normal white cabbage as well.
