Sautéed Cabbage

This is a quick and easy way to cook cabbage. Normally I chop cabbage manually, but you can also use a food processor.


Ingredients:
1/2  small green cabbage
Salt
A pinch of turmeric powder
A dash of red chili flakes or freshly ground black pepper
1-2 table spoons of coconut oil
1/4 tea spoon of mustard seeds
1/4 tea spoon of cumin seeds
A sprig of curry leaves


Wash and roughly chop cabbage. I normally cut the entire cabbage into 4 pieces and use only a half. I find that by cutting into quarters, it is easier to remove the tough part of the core.

Put chopped cabbage into a bowl and add salt, turmeric powder and chili flakes /  black pepper.

Mix well.

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Keep the heat to medium/low so seeds don't burn. Once mustard seeds starts popping, add curry leaves. I keep the lid on so mustard seeds don't jump out of the pan. It's a headache to clean when it's all over the stove top and sometimes on the floor.

Now add the cabbage and mix well. Cook about 5 minutes. Once cabbage starts wilting, add a splash of water if it is too dry. Then cover and cook in low heat until you have the desired texture. I like it a bit crunchy.
