white cabbage with mustard.. Indian style

Just a quick and easy way to prepare something nice with a white cabbage... other than just boil it or turn it into a coleslaw.

a white cabbage
kurkuma
whole grain mustard
yellow mustard seeds
fennel seeds
olive oil
salt
water






Cut up the cabbage in thin slices. heat the olive oil on a medium hest. Add the mustard seeds (about 1 tablespoon) and the fennel seeds (2 teaspoons). Once the seeds starts popping turn the heat on its lowest and add a big table spoon of  whole grain mustard. Mix this all well. Add some seasalt. You need a good pinch to tenderise the cabbage later. If it all start to get sticky add some water, so the aroma's can me mixed well. Add a good teaspoon (or two) of kurkuma. Mix well through the liquidy seeds. Add the cabbage and stir well to coat every piece of cabbage with the spices. To help the cabbage get tender and cooked ad a bit more water, but be careful. The cabbage needs to be dry in the end. So rather than putting in a heap of water, just ad some every once a while, while checking if the cabbage is cooked. Once it's cooked and all the water has evaporated, your Indian style mustard cabbage is done.

Bon apetit !
