Ingredients

• 500 grams green cabbage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
• 1 unit green chili, finely chopped
• 8 leaves curry leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the green cabbage thoroughly. Remove any wilted outer leaves and then slice it thinly into shreds.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds.

Step 3

When the seeds start to splutter, quickly add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the curry leaves to the pan and continue to sauté for another 30 seconds.

Step 5

Now, add the shredded cabbage to the pan and mix well, ensuring it gets coated with the seasoned oil.

Step 6

Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the cabbage. Stir to combine all the spices evenly.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the cabbage cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the cabbage is tender yet still has a slight bite to it.

Step 8

Uncover the pan and increase the heat a bit to evaporate any excess moisture. Stir-fry the cabbage for another 3-5 minutes until it starts to get slightly crispy on the edges.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro and lemon juice over the cabbage sabzi. Mix well.

Step 10

Serve the Keto Cabbage Sabzi hot as a side dish or a light main course.
