Indian Style Cabbage Rice

This is going to be a short post. Have been a little busy at work and at home today. So will leave you with this simple and spicy cabbage rice. I started out making sauce for pasta with some cabbage, but ended up adding leftover rice to it and the end result was quite tasty. Here's how I made it.

Ingredients:
Rice - 2 cups, cooked

Cabbage - 3 cups, chopped (3/4 of a medium size head)

Onion - 1 medium, chopped

Carrot - 1 small, chopped

Red chili powder - 1/2tsp

Kitchen King Masala - 1/2 tsp

Salt - to taste

Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp

Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

Ginger + Garlic paste - 1/2 tsp

Tomato paste - 2tsp

Method:

• Heat 1tbsp oil in a pan, add mustard and cumin seeds and once they start sputtering, add onions and saute until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add ginger+garlic paste and cook for another minute. Next add carrots and cabbage; cover and cook for 12-15 minutes or until cabbage is tender.
• Add tomato paste, salt, masala and red chili powder. Cook for another 3 minutes.
• Add the cooked rice and mix well. Cook for couple minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand for at least 5 minutes. Serve as is or with some yogurt.
