South Indian Cabbage and Carrot

Submitted by KVasanth

"My mother-in-law taught me this simple, yet delicious dish. It works well with many different types of cuisines, and currently is the only way I can get my husband to eat cabbage."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 5

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons rice bran oil
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds
• 1 cup chopped red onion
• 1⁄2 - 1 teaspoon split Thai green chili (this really is just 1 green chili cut in half lengthwise)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 cup carrot (cut into sticks)
• 2 1⁄2 cups shredded white cabbage
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Prepare chopped red onion and green chili, and set aside.
2. 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.
3. Add tumeric to onion mixture and incorporate well.
4. Add carrots, and stir well to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook covered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. 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.

I loved this easy dish and will be making again. I served it as an easy veggie stir fry for lunch, but will be serving it as a side dish in the future. I found the smokey cumin to be outstanding with the sweet cabbage. It is very bright yellow from the tumeric, but would match flavorwise with other cuisines too IMO. Thank you for sharing the recipe! =)

We loved this dish and it will certainly be one we will be making much more often. Followed the recipe exactly, but would double it next time as we all enjoyed it so much it was disappointing not to have any leftovers! Thanks for posting such a great recipe.
