DAL AND RICE WITH SPICY FRIED CABBAGE
I've been reading books by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and giving myself Indian food cravings, so I went to the cupboard and came up with this easy, yummy dish. Warning: this is fairly spicy (but not burn-your-tongue-out spicy). If you like it less spicy, reduce the amounts of seasoning and garlic dramatically. Substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth to make it vegan.

Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, saute garlic and onion in just enough oil to cover bottom of the pan scantily.
- When onion begins to turn clear, add garam masala, curry, turmeric, cinnamon, and cloves; saute a minute or two more, until well mixed.
- Add carrot, tomatoes, chicken broth, dal (lentils), rice, and water, and stir well.
- Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 20-30 minutes, until dal and rice are soft and liquid is absorbed.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Just before serving, heat enough oil to cover bottom of pan in a wok or large frying pan until very hot.
- When oil is very hot, fry cumin and chili powder for a few seconds, then add cabbage and sugar, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until wilted.
- Serve dal and rice mounded on a plate with fried cabbage on top.
