Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (Hing)
- 1 chopped Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cabbage: remove any tough outer leaves, cut the cabbage into quarters, core each section, and then finely slice it into thin shreds.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil is warm, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds.
Add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) and chopped green chili to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute or until the chili is slightly soft.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan. Stir well to mix with the spices.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, salt, red chili powder, and coriander powder over the cabbage. Stir again to evenly coat the cabbage with the spices.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and allow the cabbage to cook for 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, ensuring the cabbage is well-cooked yet slightly crunchy.
Once the cabbage is cooked, turn off the heat and add freshly chopped coriander leaves for garnish.
Serve the Heart-Healthy Cabbage Sabzi hot, paired with whole wheat chapati or brown rice for a complete meal.
