Cabbage with Green Peas

Cabbage with Green Peas

Ingredients

Cabbage, chopped (I prefer Savoy Cabbage)

Green Peas, 1/2 cup per 2 cups of cabbage

EVOO, 1 tsp

Mustard seeds, 1/2 tsp

Curry leaves, 4 to 6, torn in 3

Urad dal, 1/2 tsp

Dried red chilis, 2 cracked into 2 or 3 pieces each

Turmeric, 1/4 tsp

Salt, to taste

Just Like This

1. Microwave the cabbage and peas with 2 tbsp of water for 9 minutes (adjust based on the power of your microwave and your personal taste profile), Drain excess water.
2. Heat the EVOO with the mustard seeds on medium high for 2 minutes. (Must not smoke. Adjust heat and time based on your stove.)
3. When the mustard seeds start popping, add the urad dal, dried red chilis. 
4. Reduce heat to medium.
5. Stir for a minute and add the curry leaves and turmeric. 
6. Add the drained cabbage and peas. Stir thoroughly to get the turmeric spread evenly. 
7. Salt to taste. Stir thoroughly once more.
8. Cook covered for 4 to 5 minutes. Stir once or twice to make sure nothing catches. Any water accumulating in the cover should be discarded to keep the preparation dry.
9. Check salt and turn off the stove.
10. Enjoy!
