Indian Style Stir Fried Egg Cabbage

Stir fried egg cabbage is a great non-vegetarian dish that complements my previous curry leaves gravy shared in this blog. Frankly speaking, it tasted so delicious without the strong smell of the egg. Small onions and green chillies when minced or grated finely remove the unpleasant egg odor. It's best eaten while it is still hot. 

Ingredients :

Shredded cabbage : 3 cups
Small onions or 1 big onion :7
Small green chillies : 5
Egg : 1
Red chilli powder : 1/2 tsp
Salt : as needed

To Temper :

Mustard seeds : 1/2 tsp
Urad dal :  1/2 tsp
Curry leaves : a sprig
Oil : 2 tbsp

1. Shred and wash the cabbage. Drain off the excess water in a colander.

2. Mince or grate the small onions and green chillies finely.

3. In a hot pan, add oil and splutter all the ingredients under the ' To Temper ' section.

4. Now, add the minced items and fry for 3 minutes and after that, you can add the shredded cabbage.

5. Mix chilli powder, salt and stir fry the cabbage till it ooze out liquid and dry slightly.

6. Finally, in a bowl beat egg lightly with little black pepper. This egg mixture is added to the cabbage and cook for another 15 minutes or till the egg smell dissipates.
