Ingredients

  • 3 cups Purple cabbage or green

  • 2 Carrot thinly sliced
  • 1 large Tomato or 2 medium

Instructions

  • Chop all the vegetables and keep it ready. I thinly sliced the cabbage and kept it long, but if you prefer you could chop it finer as well.
  • Grind the tomatoes and the habanero pepper to a smooth paste and keep it aside.
  • In a pan with a fitted lid, heat the oil. Add the onions and sauté until light brown. Now add the sliced bell peppers and sauté for about 5 minutes.
  • Now add the ground tomato mixture, carrots, turmeric powder, cumin powder and salt. Mix it well and let come to a boil.
  • Boil the mixture for about 5 minutes and then add the shredded cabbage. Mix it well and add about 2 cups of water or just enough to cover the vegetables.
  • Cover with a lid and simmer until all the vegetables are cooked.
  • Now add the coconut milk and simmer once more. Do not let the stew boil once the coconut milk is added.
  • Serve the Curried Cabbage hot with rice!
