Indian Cabbage And Carrots Recipes

SOUTH INDIAN CABBAGE AND CARROT

Steps:

• Prepare chopped red onion and green chili, and set aside.
• Over medium-high heat, heat the oil in a large pan. Once oil is hot, put in cumin seeds -these will start to sizzle and pop immediately. When they do, give them a stir and then add in the onion and green chili. Reduce heat to medium and cook mixture until slightly browned.
• Add tumeric to onion mixture and incorporate well.
• Add carrots, and stir well to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook covered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add cabbage and salt, carefully folding it in so that as much as possible has come in contact with the carrot mixture. Cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until cabbage is soft and everything is incorporated. Serve.

• Note: You may want to have a lid handy for when the mustard seeds begin to pop.
• They're hot little projectiles before they're mixed with the veggies.
