Carrot and Cabbage Stir Fry
Crunchy veges with the Indian spicy tempering will keep you wanting for more. Healthy and yet easy to make. Can be enjoyed as a salad or an accompaniment to Indian meals.
If you have been to an Indian or specifically south Indian wedding this dish is a must on the menu. As a kid I loved this dish and enjoyed the veges in this form rather than raw / in a curry. In the weddings the veges would be boiled to the T and this texture is quite different from others.
People who know me knows I love coconut, almost anything with coconut I eat, so no surprise I liked this dish as a kid. But As an adult, still I love this stir fry not only cause its yummy cause its that’s how easy its to make. I have seen many recipes which calls for boiling the veges and then adding tempering etc, Too many untensils and too many dishes to wash…
This recipe is simple and made just in one pan which is why its suitable for even new cooks and bachelors, the hardest part of the recipe is cutting the veges. The techniques I have used here was adapted from my big sister (Nimmika).
