Cabbage Peas fry/ Cabbage Peas quick stir fry

I want my son (Pranay) to eat cabbage as it is so good for health. When ever I give him this cabbage curry he always think it is onion curry (Pranay loves onions) and he won’t complain at all.

I use to hate cabbage when I was little, but one time I went to Madras and I ate this cabbage fry in a restaurant, it is so good I tried so many ways to reproduce it and I finally got it. I always think how they could possibly have the cabbage to stay white even after cooking..

Here is the quick, delicious and healthy dish from my kitchen.

Ingredients:

• Diced Cabbage
• Hand full of Frozen Peas
• Green chilies – 2
• 1 Tsp each of Mustard seeds, Cumin/Jeera, Urad dal
• Curry leaves – 1 twig
• Salt as required.

Directions

1. In a microwave bowl steam cabbage for 3 mins or until it is half cooked. I like a little crunch, if you like it well done, you can cook it for 5 mins in micro wave by turning cabbage in the middle.
2. Take a pan, heat a spoon of oil and add the mustard seeds, when they pop add cumin and urad dal, when they turn golden, add curry leaves and slit green chilies.
3. Add the steamed cabbage and season it with salt. Stir fry it for 3 min, add peas add let it sauté till both the cabbage and peas are well cooked.
4. Check the taste, turn off the flame.
5. Serve this with rice or chapatti or pulka. Very very healthy dish

Chinese people make sure that they have cabbage in their menu every day as it is very nutritious.
