Sambhara

Shredded cabbage and carrots (maybe Gujarati?)

2 tsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp fenugreek seeds
1/4 tsp asafetida
1 small cabbage, thinly shredded
2 carrots, peeled and trimmed, shredded
6-8 thai, cayenne, or serrano chilies, thinly sliced lengthwise, with seeds still in
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c cilantro leaves
juice of 1 lime

Heat oil, add mustard seeds, cover until they've stopped popping. Add fenugreek and asafetida, then add cabbage, carrots, chilies, turmeric, sugar, and salt. Stir fry, then cook 5-10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water and cook 5-10 more minutes, until the cabbage is noodle-like but still crunchy. Add cilantro and lime juice and serve.
