I take a look inside my refrigerator and all I find is half a cabbage, a couple carrots and half green bell pepper (half because the other half is err, going bad.......). I do have a bag of frozen peas and some grated coconut in the freezer. Aha! I know exactly what to cook for lunch.
1. I chop up those veggies- the cabbage, the carrots and the green bell pepper.
2. I get my pan with a couple teaspoons of oil going on the stove.
3. I throw in a pinch of "hing" (asafoetida) followed by half a teaspoon of mustard seeds into the heated oil. Also a couple dried red chillies.
4. As the mustard seeds begin to splutter, I throw in the carrots, give it a quick stir and then throw in the cabbage and the green bell pepper.
5. I add salt to taste and mix everything up, cover the pan and keep it on low flame.
6. After 5 minutes, I remove the lid, stir the veggies together, throw in some frozen green peas and some grated coconut. One final stir and ready!
Colorful and Tasty! |
This "sabji" goes well with rice and rasam (http://yetanotherfoodie.blogspot.com/2010/05/comfort-food-south-indian-version.html) or even with plain rotis or just by itself with some yogurt. Simple, tasty and healthy!
See? You can cook even if you are feeling lazy and even if you are running out of vegetables. Now that lunch has been taken care of, it is back to my lethargic weekend. Hmm, a bollywood movie sounds like a good idea. As for that trip to Uwajimaya---- maybe tomorrow.........
