Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. (1 minute)

02

Step
0 mins

Sauté the ginger and serrano pepper for about one minute until softened and fragrant. (1 minute)

03

Step
0 mins

Season with caraway, cumin, fennel, mustard, fenugreek, turmeric, and asafoetida; cook until intensely fragrant, about 20 to 30 seconds. (30 seconds)

04

Step
5 mins

Stir in the cardamom pods and cabbage. Season with salt and mix well to coat the cabbage with the spice mixture. (1 minute)

05

Step
2 mins

Pour in the water and lime juice, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender-crisp. (7 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Gently fold in the drained beans. Cover and cook an additional 2 minutes to reheat the beans. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the lid and simmer until any remaining liquid is absorbed and the cabbage and beans are beautifully glazed, about 1 to 2 minutes. (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use coconut oil instead of canola oil.
Adjust the amount of serrano pepper based on your spice preference. Remove the seeds for a milder dish.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as bell peppers, cauliflower, or peas.
Serve this dish as a side or as a light vegetarian main course, accompanied by rice or naan bread.
