Stir fried veggies make for a great side dish and with the holidays nearing, it’s not such a bad idea to add some to your repertoire.I love Indian spiced Cabbage and decided to give it a little twist by adding some sweet fennel. The sweet liquorice taste and the aroma is just amazing. In this recipe the Cabbage and fennel combo works wonderfully and you can taste the sweet and earthy all in one. My dish is also super easy since it’s an Indian stir fry. The ingredients keep going into the pan one after another and the whole process takes about 30 minutes.

The spices consist of smoky cumin, earthy coriander, a little bit of garam masala along with some ginger. The dish brings together all these flavors and the leftovers can be turned into tasty sandwich fillings or even a savory puff pastry filling!
