Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 unit green chili, finely chopped
- 8 leaves curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Start by washing the green cabbage thoroughly. Remove any wilted outer leaves and then slice it thinly into shreds.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds.
When the seeds start to splutter, quickly add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the curry leaves to the pan and continue to sauté for another 30 seconds.
Now, add the shredded cabbage to the pan and mix well, ensuring it gets coated with the seasoned oil.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the cabbage. Stir to combine all the spices evenly.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the cabbage cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the cabbage is tender yet still has a slight bite to it.
Uncover the pan and increase the heat a bit to evaporate any excess moisture. Stir-fry the cabbage for another 3-5 minutes until it starts to get slightly crispy on the edges.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro and lemon juice over the cabbage sabzi. Mix well.
Serve the Keto Cabbage Sabzi hot as a side dish or a light main course.
