Masala Cabbage Curry and Spicy Dal!

Last weekend, I made two dishes. One was Masala Cabbage Curry and the other was Spicy Dal (Lentils)! Both dishes are easy to make and very low in fat. They are both high in fiber, nutritious and quite tasty!

Here are my recipes:

Masala Cabbage Curry:

Ingredients:

1. 1 small cabbage, shredded
2. 2 Red Bell Peppers, de-seeded and sliced into longish pieces
3. Mustard seeds - 1 Tsp
4. Grapeseed/coconut oil - 1 Tbsp
5. 1 large onion - chopped
6. 4 garlic cloves - minced
7. 1 Tbsp Garam Masala
8. 5 green chilies - diced

Preparation:

1. In a large pan, heat up the oil. When the oil is hot, mustard seeds, let'em splutter. Next, add the garlic and the onions. Turn down the heat and saute them, until the onions start to get tender.
2. Turn up the heat to medium. Add the cabbage and the diced chilies. Put a lid on the pot and cook covered until the cabbage is almost done.
3. Add the red bell peppers, cook until they peppers turn slightly soft --- not mushy!
4. Stir-in the Garam Masala and add salt to taste!
