If you think you don’t like cabbage (like my husband) you have GOT to try this recipe! You’ll swear you are not eating cabbage!! No cabbage odor or taste whatsoever to this dish! It is a delightfully crunchy side dish with grilled Tandoori Chicken or pork chops! I order my nigella seeds (black onion seeds) from Penzey’s Spices on-line, but you may be fortunate to have a spice supplier where you live. You could even omit them without serious damage to the overall taste of this dish. You can also substitute French style frozen green beans (cooked to tender-crisp stage) for the cabbage in this dish. I like it just as well.
INGREDIENTS:
4 T. unsalted butter
½ tsp. whole cumin seed
1 jalapeno, seeded and cut into 1/8″ strips (julienned)
2 oz. thinly sliced yellow onion
1 carrot, grated
2 ½ c. cabbage, ¼” shred with a knife (it’s too fine with a food processor)
Pinch salt
Pinch ground turmeric
½ tsp. nigella seeds
½ tsp. Garam Masala spice blend:

1 T. lemon juice
DIRECTIONS:
Melt the butter in a non-stick wok or large skillet. Add cumin seed, slivered jalapeno, onion, turmeric and salt. Stir fry on medium-high heat until onions are beginning to get soft. Add cabbage and carrot and remaining spices. Continue to stir-fry until cabbage begins to soften. Squeeze on lemon juice, stir and serve at once.
