ingredients to make shredded cabbage stir fry

¼ medium sized Cabbage

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds

4 dry red chilies broken

1 string curry leaves make sure there is no water content

½ teaspoon turmeric powder

Step by step instructions

Shred the cabbage using a knife or you can shred it using a food processor or cabbage shredder (don’t shred too finely) and keep it aside.

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds.

When the mustard seeds splutter, add the broken dry red chilies and curry leaves and fry for few seconds.

Add the shredded cabbage and saute for about a minute.

Add the chopped green chilies and salt and mix well.

Cook in low to medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes or until the cabbage is lightly fried and cooked enough.

I have only ¼th of a cabbage so it gets cooked fast, if you are using more cabbage and doubling or tripling the recipe, you will need to cover and cook the cabbage for few more minutes until the cabbage is cooked enough.

As soon as the cabbage is cooked, you can add the spices – turmeric powder, red chili powder and cumin seeds powder and mix well with the cabbage.

Stir fry the cabbage mixed with the spices for another 1 to 2 minutes in low heat so that the cabbage gets nicely blended with the spices.
