Punjabi Cabbage
I love cabbage!!! I love it raw, roasted, sautéed, boiled in soup. It is one of those forgiving foods that you never feel bad or heavy after eating it. I am continuing on with my journey in one of my favorite cook books “The Food of India”. I bought this book about 15 years ago but I never attempted to cook anything in it until a few months ago. This recipe has become one of my favorites and I usually can eat it by itself but my husband and kids love it more with basmati rice and chicken.
1 lb cabbage sliced into strips
1/2 of a medium onion chopped
2 garlic cloves
2 inch piece of ginger
1 green chile
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Mash the above 4 ingredients ingredients into a paste.
1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
1 teaspoon of ground turmeric
1 teaspoon of ground coriander
2 teaspoons of ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of chili powder
1 tablespoon of butter
On medium high heat in a skillet add in 1 tablespoon of butter along with 1 tablespoon of oil. Throw in the cumin seeds, garlic ginger paste and the onions. Cook this down for about 5-7 minutes. Now add in the cabbage and spices tossing it with the onions. Cook this down for about 10 minutes and it is ready to serve. If the cabbage starts to get dry you can add in a splash of water to loosen it. YUM!
