Instructions
Step 1
Blend the following until it's a smoothe paste:
Coconut flakes, Cumin, Garlic, jalepeno, water
Step 2
Heat a large sauté pan or skillet on medium heat. You want something with a lid. Add the oil, mustard seeds, and fenugreek/fennel seeds into the oil. Sauté until the mustard seeds begin to pop.
Step 3
Add red chili flakes, and stir until aromatic; add the onion & carrot. Stir, and cook for 2 minutes, then add the turmeric, and stir again
Step 4
Add the cabbage, Coconut milk & ½ teaspoon salt, and mix well.
Step 5
Turn down the heat to low, cover, and cook the cabbage over low heat with the lid on, checking every few minutes and giving it a stir. Do not add extra water unless absolutely needed. The cabbage should cook in its own juices, and it should not brown much.
Step 6
Once the cabbage is cooked, but still a bit crisp, add the coconut paste, mix well, and continue to cook for 2 minutes with the lid off.
Step 7
Turn off the heat, and garnish with fresh cilantro and lemon just before serving.
