A sweet and spicy way to use up that leftover cabbage. This is my everyday version of Madhur Jaffrey's Sambhara. If you like Indian food, definitely pick up one of her cookbooks!! So good and so simple.

Time 17m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 lb cabbage, cored and shredded
3/4 lb carrot, grated
1 jalapenos or 1 serrano pepper, cut into thin strips
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds or 1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
1 whole dried red chili
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wok or deep, wide skillet over a medium-high flame.
  • When hot, put in mustard seeds.
  • As soon as the seeds begin to pop (this takes only a few seconds, really), put in the dried chili.
  • Stir once.
  • Within seconds the chili will turn dark red.
  • Put cabbage, carrots, and hot pepper in the pan.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and stir the vegetables for about 30 seconds.
  • Add salt, sugar and cilantro.
  • Stir and cook for another 5 minutes or until the vegetables are just done and retain some of their crispness.
  • Stir in lemon juice.
  • Remove red chili and serve.
  • Note: You may want to have a lid handy for when the mustard seeds begin to pop.
  • They're hot little projectiles before they're mixed with the veggies.

My mother-in-law taught me this simple, yet delicious dish. It works well with many different types of cuisines, and currently is the only way I can get my husband to eat cabbage.

Time 30m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons rice bran oil
1 1/2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds
1 cup chopped red onion
1/2-1 teaspoon split Thai green chili (this really is just 1 green chili cut in half lengthwise)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 cup carrot (cut into sticks)
2 1/2 cups shredded white cabbage
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Prepare chopped red onion and green chili, and set aside.
  • Over medium-high heat, heat the oil in a large pan. Once oil is hot, put in cumin seeds -these will start to sizzle and pop immediately. When they do, give them a stir and then add in the onion and green chili. Reduce heat to medium and cook mixture until slightly browned.
  • Add tumeric to onion mixture and incorporate well.
  • Add carrots, and stir well to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook covered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add cabbage and salt, carefully folding it in so that as much as possible has come in contact with the carrot mixture. Cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until cabbage is soft and everything is incorporated. Serve.
