• 1 large Onion
• 2 medium Tomato
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 2 Green chilies
• 10 leaves Curry leaves
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds

• 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Finely shred the cabbage. Dice the onion and tomatoes. Mince the ginger and garlic, and slit the green chilies lengthwise.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them splutter for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the curry leaves, ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and sauté until golden brown, around 5-6 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the spices with the onion-tomato mixture.

Step 7

Add the shredded cabbage and mix thoroughly to coat it with the spices.

Step 8

Pour in the water, cover the skillet, and let the cabbage cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender.

Step 9

Uncover, add the garam masala, and stir. Allow it to cook for another 3-4 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve hot with steamed rice, roti, or as a side dish.
