When you have had a few too many good meals, and your clothes are a bit tight, this is the perfect thing to eat. 0 points on Weight Watchers, and only one teaspoon of oil, this is filling and full of fiber also. Nothing like cabbage to clean you out!
Ingredients:
- Red or Green Cabbage
- Oil
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- Dash of Asafetida
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 CWater
Shred the cabbage finely, I use a mandolin to make this easy. If you are using a knife, cut as thinly as possible.

Heat one teaspoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once a cumin seed starts to dance in the hot oil, it is ready. Add cumin seeds and stir for 30 seconds into the oil. Now a dash of Asafetida. Add the turmeric and mix together. Add the shredded cabbage, and add about 1/2 tsp salt. Mix the cabbage thoroughly, and add the water if its not mixing well. It will seem like a lot of cabbage, but it cooks down quite a bit.


Cover and let cook for about 5 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure its steaming and not burning at the bottom. (Another reason I like to add water.) After about 5 minutes, or when the cabbage starts to wilt, uncover and mix again. I like to continue to cook it on medium heat for another minute or two until the water evaporates and its a little dry. Remove from heat and serve with Roti and Rice, or even alone if you want. It has a sweet, nutty sort of flavor that makes it really satisfying, and fills you up!
