Today's stir fry veggie....Cabbage

CHILLI CUMIN CABBAGE STIR FRY

Cabbage...not a favourite with many...it is not the sexiest vegetable out there but it can be one of the most versatile veggies of your kitchen. It is used in slaws, salads, curries, fermented foods etc. It is packed with nutrients and fiber. Its health benefits are many such as treatment of constipation, stomach ulcers, jaundice, scurvy, skin disorders, head aches and obesity.

I invented a simple stir fry cabbage recipe sometime back. Stir frying is a healthy, easy and quick method to prepare a dish. Talking about this recipe, it has a delectable aroma from cumin and heat from green and red chillies. I enjoyed it a lot with steamed white rice. Hope you all like it too.

Here goes the recipe.
