Kobe nu Shaq :-)

ok ok...that's what my mom calls it. But it's actually probably spelled...Kobi nu Shaak (Cabbage shaak - see picture).

This is a quick recipe and you can't really go wrong.

1 head of cabbage
1 green chili minced
2 thin slivers of ginger minced
garlic (optional)
1/2 potato (you can use a whole if you like more starchy carbs)
tumeric (about 1.5 tsp)
jeeru (cumin?)
rai (?)
hing (aseto....something)
salt to taste
4 teaspoons of sugar (approx.)
Cilantro (optional)

In a lightly oiled pan, add the hing (let it sizzle), then add the jeeru and rai - let it pop. Add in the minced green chili, ginger and garlic (again, I usually put these three into the hand chopper). Let this cook for about 15 seconds and then add the turmeric and mix. Add potatoes, mix and put the cover on for about 5 minutes so they start to cook (soften). Then put in the cabbage and mix. The stove should be on low and you want to stir it continuously so it doesn't end up sticking at the bottom. Put the cover on for another 10 minutes to let the moisture drip into the pan and it will also allow the cabbage and potatoes to cook some more. Once the potatoes are soft enough that you can cut into them you can add in the salt and sugar. Mix it all well. Top it with cilantro if you like.
