South Indian Vegetarian Cabbage-Potato Mixed Curry Recipe

Ingredients

    3 cups cabbage, finely chopped
    1 cup potatoes, cut into small cubes
    1/4 inch piece of ginger, chopped fine
    3-4 green chillies, slit and cut into half
    1/4 cup coriander (cilantro) leaves, chopped
    1/4 tsp red chilli powder
    Salt to taste

For Seasoning

    4-5 tsp vegetable oil
    2 1/2 tsp urad dal
    1/2 tsp mustard seeds (rai)
    1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
    Turmeric powder, a pinch

Method

    Heat the oil in a shallow skillet. Add the urad dal, mustard, and cumin seeds. When the urad dal starts browning, add the ginger, chillies, and coriander leaves and saute for a few seconds.

    Add the turmeric, and the potatoes and cabbage. Add salt, sprinkle some water and cover and cook on low heat for about 8-10 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked.

    Serve the cabbage-potato curry hot with any Indian bread (chapathi, paratha, phulka, puri) or plain white rice.
