Cabbage And Potato Fry
An indianised way to cook cabbage, and our favorite preparation of the vegetable. If you have a grinder, take the trouble to roast and grind the coriander seeds - the freshly roasted flavor is worth the effort.
Steps
Quarter , core and shred cabbage.
Heat oil over medium heat.
When hot , add cumin and mustard seeds and wait till they sputter.
Then add finely sliced onion.
Allow onion to soften and then throw in the shredded cabbage.
Add salt , turmeric and coriander powders.
Close pot , reduce heat slightly and allow to cook until cabbage wilts.
As soon as cabbage reduces in volume , add small pieces of diced potatoes and continue cooking on medium heat till potatoes soften and cabbage is tender.
If desired , add in shredded coconut with potatoes as allow to cook as in previous step.
Garnish with coriander sprigs.
Goes well as a low-fat option with parathas.
