Ingredients

To make this delightful cabbage curry, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons oil (or as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 6 cups shredded cabbage
  • ½ cup frozen peas, thawed
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder (adjust based on your spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala (optional)
  • Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your cabbage curry:

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large non-stick wok or sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cumin and mustard seeds. Fry for about 1 minute or until they start to sizzle.
  2. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, approximately 1 minute.
  3. Incorporate Spices: Reduce the heat to low and add the ground turmeric and red chili powder. Cook for another minute, allowing the spices to release their flavors.
  4. Cook the Cabbage: Increase the heat back to high and add the shredded cabbage along with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir-fry for 4-6 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender yet still has a slight crunch. If you prefer softer cabbage, you can cook it for up to 10 minutes.
  5. Add Peas: Stir in the thawed peas and cook for an additional minute.
  6. Season and Serve: Adjust salt to taste and sprinkle garam masala if desired. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.

Pro Tips

  • Customize Your Curry: Feel free to add other vegetables such as carrots or bell peppers for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Adjust Spice Levels: Modify the amount of red chili powder based on your heat tolerance; you can also add fresh green chilies for an extra kick.
  • Serving Suggestions: This curry pairs beautifully with steamed rice, naan, or roti. For a complete meal, serve it alongside a yogurt-based side dish or salad.

Enjoy your homemade cabbage curry as a wholesome meal that not only satisfies your taste buds but also nourishes your body!
