- 2 whole Green chilies
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Oil (coconut oil preferred)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 whole Garlic clove (optional)
Instructions
Wash the cabbage thoroughly and finely chop it. Set aside.
Slice the green chilies lengthwise.
In a pan, heat the coconut oil on medium heat.

Stir in the turmeric powder and mix well.
Add the finely chopped cabbage and salt. Mix everything together thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and allow the cabbage to cook for 7-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
