INDIAN CABBAGE AND PEAS STIR FRY
My friend Sirisha, from South India, introduced me to this. It is great! I like it hot and cold. There are several versions on 'zaar, but this one has stronger spices than most. It is somewhat hot, but mostly just very flavorful! I prefer it without the onion. The amounts are approximate, as she never measure. I do, though. :)

Steps:
- Place mung beans in a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak for 4 hours. Drain.
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add the drained mung beans. Cook until almost tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir cabbage and salt into the pot. Let stand until cabbage wilts, about 10 minutes.
- Drain the cabbage mixture in a colander and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Test heat by adding 1 mustard seed; oil is hot enough if the seed splutters. Add remaining mustard seeds, curry leaves, garlic, cumin seeds, and asafoetida. Cook for 1 minute.
- Squeeze out excess moisture from the cabbage; add in small amounts to the skillet, stirring well between additions. Stir-fry cabbage mixture for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt, turmeric, and chile powder. Reduce heat to low; stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes more. Garnish with coconut and cilantro.

- Heat the oil over medium-high heat to create a nice sear on the vegetables.
- Add the cabbage and peas first, as they take longer to cook than the other vegetables.
- Stir-fry the vegetables continuously to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Add the ginger, garlic, and green onions towards the end of cooking to preserve their flavor and aroma.
- Season the stir-fry with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately with rice, noodles, or your favorite protein.
