Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cabbage
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping the cabbage. Rinse it thoroughly in cold water and allow it to drain in a colander.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds to the skillet. Allow them to splutter for about 30 seconds.
Add cumin seeds to the skillet and sauté for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
Stir in the chopped cabbage and mix well to combine the cabbage with the tempered seeds.
Add turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes tender but still retains some crunch.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve hot as a side dish with your preferred paleo main course.
