Cabbage Stir fry

Ingredients

• 3 cups Cabbage shredded
• 1 tsp oil
• 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 2 tbsp grated coconut (optional)
• 1 spring curry leaves
• 1 green chilli (slit lengthwise)
• 1/4 tsp Salt (Adjust to taste)

Method

1. Cook the Cabbage with little water in a microwave for around 4-5 min.
2. Heat oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds. When the mustard begins to crackle add the green chillies and curry leaves. Add the Cabbage and salt and mix everything well.
3. Simmer and cook for a few minutes and switch off and add grated coconut.

Suggestions/ Notes

• I found that this method has a lot of advantages - The nutrition of the vegetable is retained, the cabbage doesn't get burnt and it is less time consuming.
• You may also add green peas and carrots to make it colourful and appealing to children.
