Instructions
- In a large pan, add oil and heat at medium.
- Add mustard seeds when hot and mix for a few seconds.
- Add asofetida(hing), garlic and chili and cook for a minute.
- Add the lentils/daals and cook for a minute or so, until the lentils and garlic turn golden. Sometimes I soak the lentils for 5 minutes before adding for a non smoky taste. You can skip the lentils and add half teaspoon of cumin and coriander seeds.
- Add turmeric powder and cabbage and mix well.
- Cook covered on low heat for 5 minutes.
- Stir, add salt and cook partially covered for 10+ minutes, stirring occassionally, until cooked to your preference(also depends on the size of the chopped cabbage).
- For variations, add peas, chopped carrots or boiled potato, to the cabbage when you add salt. Or change up the spices, use cumin seeds or fennel or just a little garam masala!
- Serve hot topped with fresh cilantro or coconut flakes, as a side with Daal soups and Roti or Naan-Indian flat bread or Rice.
