- In a stainless steel Dutch oven, heat the oil on a medium heat (4), add in mustard seeds and let them sizzle.
- Add in the 2 dals and lightly brown.
- Add in asafetida, curry leaves, red and green chili and cook for a minute.
- Add in cabbage, water, remaining spices and coconut. Mix well. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes. The water should boil off by the time it is done.
- Can garnish with cilantro if desired.
Notes:
Serve with brown basmati rice or chapatti/roti/nan. In the below meal, some plain yogurt is a good addition. It adds a little protein and is a good offset to spicy curries.
You can add in 1/2 cup of frozen peas for a variation. Some like a squeeze of lemon.
