Curried cabbage and peas

My home made chaapathi

Chapati, Raita, Green Chilli Pickle and curried cabbage and peas

Curried Cabbage and Peas

Raita with Radish, cucumber and onions

This is a very traditional dish which is made in almost every Indian Maru ( are people who originate from Rajasthan) household. I had mine with home made chapatti, raita and chilli pickle. My European friends like it as a side with grilled chicken breast and some salad. It is delicious as a stuffing in a pitta bread too. Use your imagination.

1/2 cabbage chopped into this strands

1 cup of frozen peas

1 table spoon of vegetable oil

a chunk of fresh ginger grated

1/2 green chill ( fresh)

2 tsp of whole cumin seeds

1 bay leaf

3 tsp of curry powder

salt to taste

half a lime or lemon

Take a large pan and add the oil

Once hot add the bay leaf , cumin seeds followed by the ginger and green chillies

Followed by the cabbage

Now add the salt and the curry powder and cover the pan on a low heat and let it cook for 15-20 minutes

There after add the peas and squeeze the lime juice and give it a good mix cooking it for a further 5 mins

That is it - Ready to serve

I hope this is good enough for people who were asking me for traditional Indian recipes.
