Ingredients | Aloo Palak Dry Sabji

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon mustard seed

1 tablespoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

½ teaspoon red chile powder

½ head cabbage, sliced

2 potatoes, chopped

1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste

1 teaspoon salt

½ cup water, or as needed

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

Heat canola oil in a wok over medium heat. Cook and stir cumin and mustard seeds in the hot oil until they begin to dance, 1 to 2 minutes. Add coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper; cook about 1 minute.

Stir cabbage, potatoes, ginger-garlic paste, and salt into spice mixture; stir to coat. Pour enough water into wok to steam vegetables; cover and cook, stirring occasionally and adding more water as needed, until potatoes and cabbage are very tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle vegetables with cilantro.

Cayenne pepper can be substituted for the red chile powder. If you don't have ginger-garlic paste, just use equal parts fresh ginger and garlic and mash it up.

To make jeera rice, heat about 1 tablespoon oil in a pan. When hot, add 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, fry for a minute. Add 1 cup of basmati rice. Stir to coat and let it fry for a minute or 2. Add 2 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. When the water boils, cut it down to low and cook, covered for 15 to 20 minutes.
