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. :) Ingredients:
2 tablespoons oil |
1 tablespoon cumin seed |
1 tablespoon mustard seeds |
1 red chili pepper (halved) |
1 green chili pepper (cut up) |
1 medium onion, shredded (optional) |
1 lb shredded cabbage |
1 cup frozen peas |
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 -5 shredded curry leaves (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and red chiles. They will start to crackle, like popcorn.
2. After they have crackled for a couple minutes, add green chile and optional onion. Fry 3-4 minutes.
3. Add shredded cabbage. Cover and cook about 3 minutes, stirring twice.
4. Add peas, turmeric, and salt. Cook 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add optional curry leaves at the end.
