How to cut cabbage for this stir-fry?

For this stir-fry, you can either shred the cabbage or chop it roughly. Cooking time depends on how the cabbage is cut. If it’s chopped roughly, add them a little earlier i.e. when potatoes are cooked 40 – 50%. When it’s finely shredded, add them when potatoes are 80 – 90% cooked.

Instructions: –

Heat oil in a skillet. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onion, ginger, garlic, and sauté for a minute. Then add tomatoes and cook till tomatoes are soft. Now add all the spices mentioned. Give a nice stir and add 2 – 4 tbsp water so that the spices won’t burn.

Now add the potatoes, carrots, green peas. Add 1/4 cup water and stir well. Cover with a lid and simmer for 5 – 6 minutes or till the vegetables are fork-tender. Next, add chopped cabbage and stir quickly. Cover the skillet again and cook for 5 – 7 minutes again. Now keep it on high flame for some time. Don’t overcook as it will turn mushy.

Then turn off the heat and add freshly chopped cilantro leaves and some garam masala. How ever garam masala is optional. You can also skip this.
