Cabbage Palak Curry

When you are fed up with all the usual vegetarian recipes, then it needs a little bit of innovation to make every meal pleasing. So here is a unique vegetarian dish made with cabbage, peanuts and palak which is highly nutritious and very tasty.

Ingredients

Cabbage, shredded 2 cups(I used the purple one)
Palak/Spinach, shredded 2 cups
Peanuts, roasted handful
Coriander Seeds, Cumin, Mustard Seeds, powdered 1/2 tsp each
Ginger, chopped 1 Tbsp
Green Chillies 2-3 (Or as needed)
Lime Juice 1-2 Tbsp (or as needed)
Turmeric 1/4 tsp
Salt 1 1/2 tsp (or as needed)
Oil  Tbsp

Method

Coarsely pulse the peanuts in a food processor or using mortar-pestle and set aside.
Also make a coarse paste of ginger and green chillies.
Heat oil in a medium saucepan, add the coarse peanuts, ginger-chilli paste and saute adding in the coriander seeds-cumin-mustard powders. Stir for a few seconds and pile in the cabbage.
Mix well so the spices coat the cabbage. Add 1/2 cup of water and cover. After the cabbage is fork-tender (in about 10 min), add the shredded palak, cover and cook for 7-8 min.
Remove from fire and squeeze in some lime juice.
