Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cabbage
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 pieces Green chilies
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 8 leaves Curry leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Finely shred the cabbage and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Allow it to drain completely.

Step 2

Thinly slice the onion, finely chop the garlic, and slit the green chilies lengthwise.

Step 3

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.

Step 5

Add the cumin seeds and curry leaves, stirring for a few seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped garlic and green chilies to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute.

Step 7

Add the sliced onion and cook until it turns soft and slightly golden, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the turmeric powder and mix well.

Step 9

Add the shredded cabbage and toss to combine. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes on medium heat.

Step 10

Sprinkle salt over the cabbage, reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cabbage to cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy.

Step 11

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Stir-fry for an additional 2–3 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and mix well before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot as a side dish with rice or flatbreads.
