Cabbage Curry -

This cabbage curry does not use onions or garlic,.

This is how it is made in traditional Iyer households

Just cut the cabbage in any shape you like, This is 1 whole cabbage, I like it shredded.

Items

Cabbage - Shredded about 5 cups

Water - 1/2 cup

Salt - 1 teaspoon or as needed

Oil - 1 Teaspoon

Mustard - 1/2 teaspoon

Urad Dal - 1 teaspoon or more if you like it

Red Chili - 1

Curry Leaves - 1 strand

Shredded Coconut - 1 cup (optional)

Method

--->Put in a pan which has a lid and add very little water and add about a teaspoon of salt,

keep the stove on a medium high

--->Keep stirring every 5 minutes

--->In less than 15 minutes, you will see the cabbage will start to wilt and the water will start to reduce a lot

--->At this point you have to watch carefully untill all water evaporates or if you don't have time, take the water out carefully and add it to your rasam or kootu or dal

--->In a small pan, add the oil and then the mustard seeds and once it sputters add the urad dal and red chili and stir until the urad dal starts to get a golden hue, at this point pour it over the cabbage, add the curry leaves to the cabbage and then if you like add the shreeded coconut!

That is it...

Enjoy with a nice sambar or rasam.
