Cabbage fry

 Cabbage is a rich source of Vitamin C. It is low in calorie and therefore best for diet menu's. This is a recipe of cabbage together fried with Lentils (channa dhal). This is yummy to eat as it is but tastier with Chapathi's. This is one of my favorite way of eating Cabbage and its best suited for lunch boxes.

• Cabbage - 2 cups chopped
• Lentils (Bengal gram) - 3/4 cup

• Turmeric powder - 1/4tsp
• Mustard seeds - 1tsp
• Curry leaves - 5 - 8 leaves
• Vegetable oil - 1tbsp
• Water - little bit to sprinkle
• Salt - as required

Method:

1. Cook the lentils (channa dhal) in salter water until they turn slightly soft but remain in shape (a bit crunchy). Keep aside.
2. In a broad heavy pan heat oil and let the mustard seeds splutter in it.
3. Add the curry leaves and let it sizzle.
4. Add the cabbage and give it a stir.
5. Mix in the turmeric and chilli powders.
6. Add salt and sprinkle some water.
7. Stir in-between and cook for 7-8minutes.
8. Stir in the lentils and serve hot with Chapathis or Rice.
