Add the chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté the onion until it becomes translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes. This process releases the natural sugars in the onion, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish.
Adding the Cabbage:
Once the onion is softened, add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onions. The cabbage should start to soften as it cooks, but still retain a slight crunch.
Incorporating the Curry Powder:
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of curry powder over the cabbage and onion mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the spices coat all the vegetables evenly. This step allows the curry powder to toast slightly, deepening its flavor.
Seasoning with Salt:
Add salt to taste. The amount of salt can be adjusted based on personal preference and dietary requirements. Stir well to incorporate the salt evenly.
Cooking the Cabbage:
Continue to sauté the cabbage mixture, stirring occasionally. The cabbage should begin to wilt and become tender, but not mushy. This process usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
Adding the Frozen Vegetables:
Stir in the frozen carrot and pea mix. The moisture from the frozen vegetables helps to keep the dish moist and prevents it from drying out. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Cooking the Vegetables:
Cook the mixture for another 5-7 minutes, or until the frozen vegetables are heated through and the cabbage reaches the desired level of tenderness. The vegetables should be cooked but still retain some of their texture.
Adjusting the Flavor:
Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more salt or curry powder at this stage. For a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some freshly chopped chili.
