Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cabbage
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
Instructions
Finely chop the cabbage and rinse it thoroughly under running water. Drain and set aside.
Chop the onion and slice the green chilies.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add the sliced green chilies and curry leaves. Sauté for another minute.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir for a few seconds until the spices are fragrant.
Add the chopped cabbage to the pan, turning the heat to medium-high. Stir well so that the cabbage is coated with the spices.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the cabbage cook for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and mix well.
Serve hot with warm rotis or as a side dish to rice.
