1
large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon
cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 green/red chili, chopped

Method
- Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add mustard and cumin seeds and allow to sauté for 30 seconds until they
begin to pop and become fragrant.
- Add fennel and onion slices and sauté for 5-8 minutes, then add a pinch of
salt and turmeric powder.
- Pile shredded cabbage into pan, cook covered for approx.15 minutes, or until
cabbage has cooked down. Stir often to avoid vegetables sticking to the pan. Add
chili then reduce heat to medium-low, and cook covered for a further 20 to 25
minutes. The vegetables should be slightly golden and caramelized.
- Sprinkle with garam masala, toss well and serve hot, with tortillas or Indian flatbreads.
