Cabbage Puli Curry recipe

Chop the tomatoes, onions, and cabbage into small pieces. Note: To maximize the amount of sulforaphane produced in the cabbage pieces, chop the cabbage and keep it aside for at least 40 minutes or sprinkle a pinch of mustard powder on the chopped pieces, mix well and keep them aside for 10 minutes.

Heat the oil in a nonstick pan. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When the seeds splutter add the chopped onions, curry leaves, and ginger-garlic paste. Once the onions turn brown, add chopped tomatoes, tamarind pulp, salt, and turmeric. After the tomatoes are completely cooked, add the chopped cabbage, and mix well. Cover the pan with a lid and let the cabbage pieces shrink in size for 15 minutes while stirring occasionally. As soon as the cabbage pieces are cooked, add coriander, red chili, and cumin powder. Mix well and cook the ingredients for 10 more minutes.

Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice or roti.
