Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cabbage
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 8 leaves Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Finely shred the cabbage and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Allow it to drain completely.
Thinly slice the onion, finely chop the garlic, and slit the green chilies lengthwise.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add the cumin seeds and curry leaves, stirring for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped garlic and green chilies to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute.
Add the sliced onion and cook until it turns soft and slightly golden, about 2–3 minutes.
Stir in the turmeric powder and mix well.
Add the shredded cabbage and toss to combine. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes on medium heat.
Sprinkle salt over the cabbage, reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cabbage to cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Stir-fry for an additional 2–3 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and mix well before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish with rice or flatbreads.
