After hogging on all the fancy and rich food for several days, my soul craved for something simple. So today we made dal and rice with stir-fried cabbage on the side. Dal and rice is my ultimate comfort food. Any dry side-dish would taste fabulous. It just cannot go wrong.

Instead of the usual fried potatoes I made dry cabbage curry that gets ready within minutes. It is a humble dish that will tickle your taste-buds and comfort your mind. This is a good recipe when you cannot devote much time to cooking meals.

How to Make Stir Fried Cabbage

  • Heat oil in a skillet. Toss in the chopped garlic and sauté it till it turns golden. Add in the mustard seeds and allow it to sizzle.
  • Add in the green chilies and curry leaves, sauté further for a few seconds.
  • Now add the turmeric powder and red chili flakes. Sauté for a second taking care not to burn the spices. Quickly add in the shredded cabbage and mix well.
  • Season it with salt. Drizzle some lemon juice and sauté the cabbage on medium heat for 2 minutes constantly tossing it. Cook the cabbage till it is done. We want the cabbage to stay crisp and not become soggy.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of garam masala for some nice aroma. Give it a final toss.

Stir-fried cabbage is ready. Serve hot with dal and rice rotis.
