Ever wonder why ethnic food tastes so great? I'll let you in on a little secret - they use simple ingredients but the spices are what makes the meal amazing.

The good news is that you can do the same thing in your own kitchen. Here is a simple recipe that I came across when looking for a low-carb version of Indian Fried Rice.

Indian Fried Cabbage

Prep time 5 min

Cook time 15 min

Ingredients

1 head cabbage shredded or finely chopped

2 tbsp oil (I prefer coconut oil or avocado oil)

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 inch ginger grated

1 tsp paprika powder

1 tbsp coriander powder

¾ cup frozen peas or fresh green peas (use another veggies if you don't like or tolerate peas)

salt to taste

Directions:

1. Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds and ginger. Saute for a minute and add cabbage, paprika, coriander powder and salt.
2. Mix well, and add ¼ cup water
3. Cover the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes till the cabbage is fork tender
4. Add in the green peas and cook for another minute or two.
5. Serve hot.
