Finely shredded cabbage is quick-sautéed with mustard, cumin, green chilli, turmeric and coriander, then folded with a few green peas for pop. We keep it semi-dry and low-oil (Blue), with no sugar and minimal salt so it stays bright and parcel-friendly. Great with ½-cup Brown/Millet/White rice or small phulkas plus a protein.
