Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 2 teaspoons Curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the cabbage into shreds, discarding the core.

Step 2

Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and ginger.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it turns translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the ground turmeric, cumin, coriander, curry powder, and red chili flakes to the skillet. Stir for 30 seconds to toast the spices.

Step 7

Add the shredded cabbage to the pan, stirring well to coat the cabbage with the spices.

Step 8

Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, then pour in the water to help steam the cabbage. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low.

Step 9

Cook the cabbage for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 10

Remove the lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.

Step 11

Garnish the curried cabbage with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
