  • Add the thinly sliced onion and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes, until soft and translucent.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced green chili. Cook for a couple minutes until fragrant.
  • Add turmeric, coriander, and cumin powders. Stir well to coat the onions with spices.
  • Mix in the shredded cabbage and julienned carrot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spiced onions. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the coconut milk and add salt. Stir to combine. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
