Ingredients

1 medium head cabbage
½ cup water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 medium onions, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon hot Madras curry powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup reduced-fat milk

Directions

Cut cabbage in half; remove and discard core. Slice the cabbage into 1-inch strips and place in a Dutch oven or high-sided skillet. Add water, cover and cook over medium heat until fork-tender, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium skillet over low heat. Add onions; cook, stirring frequently, until translucent. Add flour, curry powder and salt; stir to mix well. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add milk and continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. When the cabbage is done, drain and transfer to a serving dish. Pour the curry sauce over the cabbage and serve hot.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
