GF Vegan Spring Garden Subji With Turmeric Rice

March 25, 2022
Come springtime, Mandala Garden is bursting at the seams with cabbage, spring onions, broccoli and leeks. We are so blessed that our garden provides us with so much deliciousness that we are able to feed ourselves with freshly picked vegetables each day, grown by us. Suddenly we ended up with way more cabbage than expected, so this week is cabbage week and it inspired me to create a spring subji with our garden veggies. Subji is an Indian vegetable stew that is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
