Cabbage with mustard seeds
Method
-
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Toss in the fenugreek and mustard seeds, curry leaves and the chilli. Lower the heat immediately and add the onions and ginger.
-
Cover the pan and soften the onions without browning for five minutes. Stir in the turmeric and chilli powder, then add the shredded cabbage and salt.
-
Cover the pan once more and cook over a gentle heat for about 10 minutes or until the cabbage has softened but retains a bite. Stir in the diced tomato and serve.
