Simple Cabbage Fry

Although, there are umpteen ways to make cabbage taste good, this one, I'm talking about is damn simple and doesn't take too much time. Even though, you can have this with roti and a wet subji along with, it tastes better with rice. So here is the quick recipe.
Simple Cabbage Fry
Ingredients:
1)Cabbage - 1 cup(cut lengthwise)
2)Onion - 1(small, chopped)
3)Whole Red Chilli - 2(broken)
4)Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
5)Red Chilli Powder - 1/2 tsp
6)Mustard Seeds - 1/4 tsp
7)Cumin Seeds - 1/4 tsp
8)Salt - to taste
9)Oil - 1 tsp
10)Water - a little
11)Asafetida - a pinch

Preparation:
1)Heat oil in a pan, add asafetida, mustard and cumin seeds, let it splutter.
2)Add broken red chilli and stir for couple of seconds.(Note: Do not burn the red chilli)
3)Now add the chopped onion, turmeric powder and salt, saute till they turn translucent.
4)Add cabbage and mix well.
5)It takes at least 5 minutes for the cabbage to cook, please do sprinkle water and stir well in between.
Also make sure the cabbage doesn't go soggy with the water that you are sprinkling, the right texture of cabbage should be soft yet crunchy.
6)Once the cabbage is done, add red chilli powder and stir well for couple of minutes.

    Yep, yep. I don't know why but I also choose cabbage always. Maybe because I can get the fresh ones over and the price is ok. I have to tell you that this simple cabbage is the best pairing, even with mutton, lamb and beriyani rice. I can't explain why but seems like great minds think alike. Simplicity is the best choose in cooking sometimes and I am always in crisis of time, therefore I am treasuring this simple cabbage.

      Thanks Julie!!
      Yes, super fibrous, I don't add coconut - only because when I make it in the morning I have that for dinner too, so coconut kinda spoils the dish in the night, otherwise I love grated coconut too.

    The way you cut the cabbage is lovely. I like to add little coconut milk at last. I know adding coconut to it wont last long.:)

    I too made cabbage stir fry day before.. But it's way simpler than this.. Just cabbage, salt & green chilly with mustard spluttered in the beginning.. Way tooo simple na... Deeps likes it that way or I guess he doesnt want me tampering with the veggies much, so staying simple makes it eatable for him :) And my mom makes it ur way :) I love that with rasam or sambar & rice :)

      I like your simple-o-simple style of cabbage fry. That is even better because you are not meddling with the color of cabbage. I do that too!! Anything to make life simpler , HaHa :)
      Yep, I too love them with rasam rice!! Although, cabbage is not very interesting veggie, per se.

Google Glass - All that you might want to know!

Google showcased the concept of  " Google Glass " in 2012, but for the past couple of months people( 500 to 600 so far ) started using the Glass and have come up with mixed reviews, with the feedback slightly tilting towards the negative side. Well, it is just a beta version(a test version)! The good thing about Google is that, they have sold Glasses only to app developers, testers and couple more and not to general public. Google is open to feedback and ready to fix problems and make them fool proof, before selling them to general public. I have been following this topic for quite sometime now and have read nearly 100 articles on this. Hence, I'm more or less capable of imparting some knowledge gained theoretically and sharing the same here. Is it a computer, a tablet, a phone or what on earth is ' Google Glass' ? Google Glass is a head-mounted wearable technology(or a computer) that easily rests on your nose and ears very similar to a pair of glasses, only that ...

What NOT to do with Social Media!

“What happens in 'Vegas' stays in 'Vegas'; what happens on 'Twitter' stays on 'Google' forever!” -  Jure Klepic Ever heard this quote before? Although, the quote is sarcastic, isn't it scary? For the past one week, we have been hearing news about NSA( National Security Agency ), PRISM( A Govt. program, where corporates are supposed to provide user's data shared in social media and call records to Govt. ) & several other Govt. agencies gathering personal data out of social media et al. Here comes the question: Why do NSA or Govt. spy on our personal information? What do they achieve, by doing this? A brief overview -> According to me, Govt. and the National Security agencies have always spied on the shared information available online. Only now, we are getting to know that our data is being monitored, thanks to a Whistle Blower named " Edward Snowden ". Why is this freaking people out?  Mainly because of over-sharing of personal ...

A mini story and a lesson for life!

This is one of my favorite short stories. I got this story as a forwarded mail long back. There are only 2 lines in the story but the take away is worth spending couple of minutes. Not everyday we come across intense yet thought provoking stories( whoever that wrote the story, kudos to you boss! ). The Story: A grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one." The grandson asked him, "Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?" The grandfather answered: " The one I feed." My Analogy: What a powerful reply from the Grandfather! Isn't it? This is a very important scenario, mainly because it states no matter what the circumstance is - it is always "we" who decide as to which path to follow, which decision to take, which mountain to climb! Have you ever acted in ways that were u...
