Fragrant Indian Cabbage
2 tsp. brown mustard seeds, dry roasted
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 large Savoy or green cabbage or 3 small ones (10 cups), sliced thin
3 inches peeled and grated ginger
1 cup water
1 cup fresh peas
1 bunch (1 cup) fresh cilantro, sliced
1 tsp. sea salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
¼ tsp. cardamom
Heat a wok or heavy skillet. Add the mustard seeds. Cover and dry roast them for about 1
minute, until you hear them pop and they turn grey. Add oil. Stir in cabbage, water and
ginger. Sauté 5 minutes until the cabbage turns bright green and the texture is crisp and
tender. Turn off heat. Mix in the other ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Serve
warm.
