Sambharo


Ingredients:
1 medium sized cabbage
1 large tomato, finely chopped
½ lemon
A little bunch of cilantro, finely chopped

For tempering:
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
6-7 green chilies, chopped
2 stems green curry leaves

Other masala:
½ tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste

Shred the cabbage, mix it with salt (to taste) and ½ tsp turmeric powder and set aside to marinate for ½ hour.

In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp oil. Once heated enough, add the mustard seeds. Once they begin to pop, add the chopped green chilies and green curry leaves. Mix a bit and then add the shredded cabbage to it. Cover the lid and let the cabbage cook for about 15 minutes, stirring every once in a while to prevent the cabbage from sticking to the pan. Open the lid and add the finely chopped tomatoes. Cook for a while, until both, the cabbage and tomatoes are tender and cooked fully. Turn off the stove. Squeeze half a lemon in it. Mix it well, and garnish with cilantro.

Serve hot with ghee Rotis.
