Cabbage and Carrot Stir Fry with Green Peas. It is the most straightforward and delicious of cabbage recipes. It's easy, takes little time, and involves just a few ingredients. Vegan and gluten-free, this recipe is diet-friendly and low-carb as well.
I remember when I was growing up, this was my dad's favorite stir fry, which was a staple in our home. This dish tasted the best in winter when the best cabbages and carrots were available. The light sweetness which comes from carrots and caramelized onions enhances the taste. Undoubtedly, my mom made this simple vegetable fry a fantastic side dish.
My mother-in-law also loved this dish of mine. She always told me she loved how balanced and tasty this dish was without any spices. You will not believe that it is an Indian recipe without any curry spice. Yes, it's true; in this recipe, you can taste the vegetables, not just the spices.
What Ingredients are Needed for This Stir Fry?
Cabbage- Fresh young cabbage works best for this recipe since you are not using any spices.
Carrot- Fresh carrot works well.
Green Peas- I have used frozen green peas in this recipe.
Onion- Red onion works best in this recipe as it is crunchy and provides a beautiful texture.
Green Chili Pepper- I have used green Indian chilies in this recipe- however, any green chili will work.
Avocado Oil/Mustard Oil- I have used mustard oil- however, you can use either oil of your choice.
Fenugreek Seeds- They bring the best flavor to this dish; however, if you do not like fenugreek seeds, you can use cumin seeds or skip them.
Turmeric Powder
Salt
Lemon Juice- Adds a perfect tangy taste and balances the sweetness of the carrot and green peas.
Green Cilantro- Adds a little fresh touch to the dish.
What Can You Serve With This Cabbage Stir Fry?
You can serve Avocado Spinach Roti, Carrot & Peas Pulao, Dal Palak/Lentil Soup With Spinach, and Dal Tadka.
You can eat this stir fry as a salad without using any carbs.
Can You Store This Cabbage and Carrot Stir Fry?
Yes, of course! You can store this stir fry in the fridge for a few days, but remember, this will lose the crunch and texture of the vegetables. Here I would like to add that this dish will still taste delicious.
