Yesterday evening we ate another delicious vegetable dish, one that I think fits nicely to autumn and winter weather. It is a mix of bell pepper and cabbage and as we all really liked it, I thought I should write down the recipe for you.

Ingredients
5 Medium-sized Bell Peppers
1 Small Cabbage
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
1/4 tsp Mustard Seeds
½ tsp Garam Masala
½ tsp Coriander
1/2 tsp Fresh Ginger in small Pieces
1/4 tsp Turmeric
1/4 tsp Mango Powder
Salt according to taste
How to make Bell Pepper and Cabbage
As usual you start your preparations with washing the vegetables. You can start with the capsicum and then move on to the cabbage. It is usually advisable to remove the outer two leaves of the cabbage. Remove the stem and seeds of the bell peppers and cut them into small pieces of a size that can easily go into the mouth. Cut out the stem of the cabbage and cut it into small pieces, too.
Heat up the oil in a wok or deep pan. When it is hot, you can add cumin, mustard, coriander, garam masala, ginger and in the end the turmeric. Turn the heat down and stir the spices for a few seconds so that they can develop their aroma.
Now you can add the vegetables and on top of it some salt. The salt will not only intensify the taste but will also help cooking the vegetables more quickly. Mix everything well with each other and put a lid onto your pan or wok. Stir from time to time.
After five minutes of cooking on medium heat, you lift the lid off the pot and let it cook for another five to ten minutes until the vegetables are as soft as you like them. Some people like to chew a bit more on their food than others, so it is up to you how long you want to cook your vegetables!
When they are cooked, you add the mango powder onto your dish, stir it one more time to mix it and then serve it warm.
Ayurvedic Benefits
Both vegetables, the cabbage and the bell peppers, are known to increase Vata in the body. Against the consequences – an additional amount of gas in the body – we add cumin and ginger into our dish.
While the capsicum increases Pitta, the cabbage pacifies this dosha and thus the result is a balanced vegetable dish which is not only tasty but healthy as well.

I would make this dish with red and yellow bell peppers, as i just don’t like the green ones but I think that hardly makes a difference… and maybe I would add some chili but i know you would not like that 🙂
