INDIAN CABBAGE AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok or deep, wide skillet over a medium-high flame.
• When hot, put in mustard seeds.
• As soon as the seeds begin to pop (this takes only a few seconds, really), put in the dried chili.
• Stir once.
• Within seconds the chili will turn dark red.
• Put cabbage, carrots, and hot pepper in the pan.
• Turn the heat down to medium and stir the vegetables for about 30 seconds.
• Add salt, sugar and cilantro.
• Stir and cook for another 5 minutes or until the vegetables are just done and retain some of their crispness.
• Stir in lemon juice.
• Remove red chili and serve.
• Note: You may want to have a lid handy for when the mustard seeds begin to pop.
• They're hot little projectiles before they're mixed with the veggies.

SOUTH INDIAN CABBAGE AND CARROT

Steps:

• Prepare chopped red onion and green chili, and set aside.
• Over medium-high heat, heat the oil in a large pan. Once oil is hot, put in cumin seeds -these will start to sizzle and pop immediately. When they do, give them a stir and then add in the onion and green chili. Reduce heat to medium and cook mixture until slightly browned.
• Add tumeric to onion mixture and incorporate well.
• Add carrots, and stir well to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook covered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add cabbage and salt, carefully folding it in so that as much as possible has come in contact with the carrot mixture. Cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until cabbage is soft and everything is incorporated. Serve.

SAUTEED INDIAN CABBAGE WITH CARROT & PEAS (V+GF)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pan/wok on a medium flame.
• Add Turmeric Powder, Salt, Red Chili Powder and give it a quick stir.
• Now, add sliced cabbage, chopped carrot, peas and sautee on medium heat for a minute.
• Now cover the pan with a lid and let this cook for 2-3 minutes over low heat (keep sauteeing every 30 seconds to prevent from burning).
• After 3 minutes, remove the lid, add Garam Masala and saute the veggies to mix it nicely.
• Let the veggies cook uncovered for 2 minutes over a low flame (saute very minute).
• Turn off the heat and transfer to a serving bowl.
• Garnish with fresh coriander (optional) and serve hot.
