Cabbage, according to me, is a fairly bland vegetable. And I like that when I want a simple, light side. However, this one with a little tamarind, has a lovely flavour and is a quick, easy fix.
Ingredients
2 cups finely shredded cabbage
2 green chillies, slit lengthwise
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
Salt, to taste
1 tbsp tamarind paste or thick pulp
1 tsp red chilli powder
2 tsp oil
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp urad dal
1/2 tsp chana dal
2-3 dry red chillies, broken in half
8-10 curry leaves
Instructions
1. Add enough water to cover the cabbage in a pan, add salt and turmeric. Cover and boil until cabbage is tender. Drain and keep aside.
2. Heat oil in the same pan (once dry). Add mustard and once they splutter, add the dals and red chillies.
3. Then add the green chillies and curry leaves followed by tamarind and red chilli powder. Saute for a minute.
4. Add the cabbage and mix well. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes and then take off heat.
Serve with rice or rotis.
