Instructions:

Heat Mustard Oil: Begin by heating mustard oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium heat.
-
Add Mustard Seeds and Bay Leaves: Once the oil is hot, add the black mustard seeds and bay leaves to the pan. Allow them to sizzle until the mustard seeds turn gray and start popping, which should only take a few seconds.
-
Incorporate Cabbage: Next, add the chopped cabbage to the pan along with the salt and sugar. Quickly toss the cabbage in the oil until it’s lightly coated.
-
Introduce Coconut and Spices: Now, add the grated coconut, chopped green chilies, and optional pepper flakes to the pan. Continue to stir-fry for an additional 2-5 minutes, or until the cabbage turns bright green and slightly wilted, yet still maintains some crunchiness.
-
Serve: Once cooked to your desired consistency, transfer the cabbage mixture to a serving dish. This dish pairs wonderfully with fragrant Basmati rice.
-
Note: For a variation, you can also try this recipe with Brussels sprouts or green beans instead of cabbage, for a unique twist on flavors.
