Cabbage fry

This is another of my simple recipes. When I have run out of onion/ginger/garlic paste (which I usually make in bulk, cook and store in the freezer) and am in no mood to make any, I make cabbage this way.

It has a flavor like South Indian food (I know am antagonising many purists) but I am no expert in south indian cooking ... so hope to be excused and corrected.

I did have some freshly grated coconut ... so added that too.


Need : Finely sliced cabbage, fresh curry leaves, whole green chillies, mustard seeds, 1 tsp urad dal, freshly grated coconut, a pinch of sugar, salt and a little cooking oil.


How to : Heat oil. Add the mustard seeds, whole greenchillies, the dal and the curry leaves.

Then add the cabbage and fry for sometime. Add salt, a little sugar and cover and cook till
cabbage is done. Sprinkle the fresh coconut and serve hot.


Gets done in a jiffy ... and goes great with both rice or rotis.
