Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cabbage
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon hing (asafoetida)
- 1 large onion
- 2 pieces green chilies
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Start by shredding the cabbage into thin strips. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion and slice the green chilies.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Once hot, add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add cumin seeds and hing. Stir briefly until fragrant.
Add the chopped onions and green chilies to the pan. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
Stir in the turmeric powder and red chili powder.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and mix well with the onion and spice mixture.
Sprinkle salt over the cabbage and stir until evenly distributed.
Cover the pan with a lid and allow the cabbage to cook on low-medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the cabbage is tender and cooked through, uncover and increase the heat slightly to evaporate any excess moisture.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot alongside steamed rice or flatbreads.
