I don’t know about you, but I love cooking with cabbage since it is such a cheap, healthy and delicious ingredient. Cabbage is also a pretty sturdy vegetable which can last for ages in the fridge – it just never seems to go bad, which is another reason why I love having it around. This curry is really easy and delicious, so give it a go if you’re in a mood for something aromatic and cozy. We’ve had it served with cooked barley, but rice or any other grain of your choice would work just as well too.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 6 servings / 0.59 EUR per serving / 2.38 EUR for all)

2 tbsp sunflower seed oil (0.03 EUR)

2 onions (0.20 EUR)

3 carrots (0.30 EUR)

6 garlic cloves (0.20 EUR)

2 tbsp curry powder (0.27 EUR)

1 tsp garlic powder (0.07 EUR)

½ tsp dried red pepper flakes (0.03 EUR)

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.03 EUR)

1 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

2 bay leaves (0.07 EUR)

½ cabbage head (0.50 EUR)

2 cups frozen peas (0.40 EUR)

2 tbsp tomato paste (0.27 EUR)

½ cup water (–)

METHOD:

Peel, wash and chop up all the vegetables. Add the oil, onions and carrots to a large pot on high heat and saute for about 5-10 minutes, until everything is slightly caramelized. Add in minced garlic, curry powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt and bay leaves. Give a good stir and cook for just a minute so the spices become fragrant. Add in chopped cabbage, frozen peas, tomato paste and water. Give a good stir, turn down heat and cover with a lid. Simmer covered for about 20 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve with a grain of your choice.

Ne znam kako je kod vas, ali ja baš volim kuhati sa kupusom pošto je on tako jeftin, zdrav i ukusan sastojak. Osim toga, kupus je i jako otporan te u hladnjaku može trajati stvarno dugo – čini se da se nikako ne kvari, te je to još jedan razlog zašto ga volim imati doma. Ovaj curry je jako jednostavan i ukusan, pa ga svakako isprobajte ako ste raspoloženi za nešto toplo i aromatično. Mi smo ga jeli uz kuhani ječam, ali riža ili bilo koja druga žitarica po vašem izboru bi također bila super.
