How to Make South Indian Cabbage And Carrot

  1. Finely chop 1/2 medium red onion and 1-2 green chilies (adjust to your spice preference). Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and sauté for 30 seconds, or until they begin to splutter.
  4. Add the chopped onion and green chilies. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder and stir well to coat the onion mixture.
  6. Add 1 cup of chopped carrots and stir to combine.
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Add 2 cups of shredded cabbage and 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or to taste). Gently fold the cabbage into the carrot mixture.
  9. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded, stirring occasionally.
  10. Serve hot as a side dish or a light vegetarian entree. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
