Description

A quick and flavorful Indian-spiced cabbage stir-fry, perfect as a side dish for any gathering. Ready in under 20 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head Cabbage
  • 1 bulb Fennel
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1 inch ginger crushed
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 0.5 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 2 green chili (optional)
  • 1-2 tsp tomato paste
  • Salt
  • 3 tbsp oil

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a skillet or wok and add cumin seeds until they crackle.
  2. Add the onion and sauté for about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the ginger and continue to cook.
  4. Add the spices, followed by the tomato paste, and cook until aromatic (about 2 minutes). Add a tablespoon of water if it sticks to the pan.
  5. Continue to cook for 5-6 minutes, until the paste doesn’t stick to the pan and oil starts to separate from the sides.
  6. Add the cabbage and fennel along with salt. Mix well.
  7. Cover and continue to cook, stirring every few minutes, until evenly cooked.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, finely chop the fennel and sauté it with the onions for a few minutes before adding the spices.
  • If you don’t have fresh green chilies, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in a pan or microwave.
