For 4 servings
Heat oil in a kadai or wide pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter for about 30 seconds. Then, add the asafoetida and sauté for a few seconds.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent. Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies, and continue to sauté for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes. Cook for 4-5 minutes, mashing them gently with your spatula, until they turn soft and pulpy.
Add the powdered spices: turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook the masala for 2-3 minutes, until you see oil beginning to separate from the mixture.
Add the shredded cabbage and green peas to the pan. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the masala.
Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low-medium, and let the sabzi cook for 10-12 minutes. The cabbage will release its own moisture, so no extra water is needed. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Once the cabbage is tender yet retains a slight crunch, turn off the heat. Sprinkle garam masala and optional lemon juice over the sabzi. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and give it a final mix.

Absolutely. For a 'satvik' or Jain version, you can simply omit the onion and ginger-garlic paste. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious, relying more on the tomatoes, ginger (if used), and spices.
If the sabzi becomes watery, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for a few minutes, stirring frequently, until the excess moisture evaporates. Also, adding salt later in the cooking process can help control the amount of water released by the cabbage.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly in a pan or microwave before serving. The flavors often meld and taste even better the next day.
