Indian Cabbage and Peas Stir Fry

Submitted by Hwin

"My friend Sirisha, from South India, introduced me to this. It is great! I like it hot and cold. There are several versions on 'zaar, but this one has stronger spices than most. It is somewhat hot, but mostly just very flavorful! I prefer it without the onion. The amounts are approximate, as she never measure. I do, though. :)"

I have a recipe very similar to this one except I like to make it hotter. For variety I sometimes add a diced potato near the start of cooking. Another variation is to add lots of black pepper instead of the green/red chilies.
