Masala Cabbage (Oil-Free)

• ¼ tsp mustard seeds
• ¼ tsp cumin seeds 
• 1 pinch fenugreek seeds 
• 2 small cinnamon sticks 
• 2-3 dried red chillies broken into pieces 
• 3-4 garlic cloves sliced 
• 1 sprig curry leaves 
• 1-2 Tbsp (15ml-30ml)  mixed masala (curry powder)  
• ½ tsp (2.5ml)  turmeric powder
• 1 small cabbage washed and sliced
• Salt to season
• Water for braising 

Let’s cook:-)  

Heat your pot over medium to hot heat.  When your pot is nice and hot, toss in the black mustard seeds as soon as the seeds start to pop, turn down the heat and toss in the cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, cinnamon sticks and chillies. Swirl the pot around and quickly add the garlic, curry leaves and mixed masala.  

Toss in the cabbage and salt, stir thoroughly 

Pour in ¼ cup water.    

Cover and cook for 10 – 15 mins adding a bit of water as and when required.   If you like your cabbage softer, cook for a longer time.
