Like many of my recipes,
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
½ teaspoon of cumin seeds
½ teaspoon of mustard seeds
1 teaspoon of fresh garlic
1 teaspoon of fresh ginger
1 white onion
150g fresh tomatoes
½ teaspoon of ground turmeric
1 teaspoon of chilli
1 teaspoon of garam masala
300g white cabbage (blanch??)
Salt
Peas and cooked potatoes (optional)
Fresh coriander to garnish
- Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage then thinly slice into strips.
- Chop he tomatoes into chunks.
- Peel and dice the onion.
- Peel and grate the garlic and ginger.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large lidded pan over a medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot , add the cumin and mustard seeds, and cook until they start to crackle.
- Lower the heat and add the onion.
- Sauté the onion until it becomes translucent, (adding more oil to the pan if needed).
- Add the garlic, ginger and dry spices. Fry for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the spices.
- Once the tomatoes have almost fully broken down, increase the heat and add the cabbage. Stir well to combine.
- Stir fry until the cabbage is tender, yet retains a little crunch or bite.
- Garnish with the chopped coriander leaves and serve.
