Cabbage - Green Peas - Rasin Trio

Nutritionists say that don't include too much of cabbage (patta gobi) if you are on a weight gain program but do include it if you want to sustain an optimum health or loose weight. Yes, cabbage is very popular for being low in saturated fats and cholesterol. It is also high in fibre and various vitamins. Including cabbage as salads is very common everywhere. In India we also make sabzi as a main course dish and this one with peas and raisins is my variation to it. This is good for people who don't like to eat it raw or less cooked (salad). I like cabbage in all forms and i am always excited to know more and more recipes of cabbage.

Ingredients:

4 cups thin Julienned Cabbage
1/2 cup Green Peas (parboiled or frozen)
1/2 Medium sized Tomato cut into small pieces
1 tbsp Raisins
4-5 Curry leaves
1 tsp Cumin seeds
1 tsp Mustard seeds
1tsp Asafetida
4 tsp Oil




Method:

1. Heat oil into a skillet and add some mustard seeds into it. When they splutter add hing , Cumin Seeds, Curry leaves to it.

2. Add tomato pieces, green peas, red chili and saute for 1-2 minutes. Now add green peas and red chili powder and saute again.

3. Add Cabbage and turmeric powder and mix well so that turmeric powder gets applied evenly.

4. Add salt and raisins; mix again. Raisins add amazing flavour to cabbage.
Lid the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes till Cabbage softens.

Tips:

Serve with wheat rotis/phulkas. Green peas are optional. Don't add if you don't like or don't have them in your fridge.
If this sabzi lefts over, you can make toast sandwiches using it as a filling.
