METHOD · 3 STEPS

1
Temper the spices in hot oil.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add mustard and cumin seeds; wait for them to crackle.
- Add ginger and green chili and cook for 10 seconds.
TIPEnsure the oil is hot enough so the mustard seeds pop immediately to release their essential oils.
2
Stir-fry the cabbage and peas until tender.
- Add cabbage, peas, turmeric, and salt; toss to coat the vegetables.
- Cover and cook on medium-low for 8 minutes, stirring once.
- Uncover and cook for 2 more minutes so any moisture evaporates.
TIPShred the cabbage thinly and uniformly to ensure it cooks at the same rate as the peas.
3
Season with lemon and cilantro before serving.
- Switch off the heat.
- Stir in fresh lemon juice and chopped cilantro.
- Serve hot as a side dish.

PRO TIPS

3 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Do not add water while cooking; the cabbage releases enough moisture to steam itself under the lid.
2
Add a pinch of amchur (dry mango powder) if you want a deeper tangy flavor than lemon juice provides.
3
Use a heavy-bottomed kadai or skillet to prevent the cabbage from scorching on medium-low heat.
