Vegan Curried Cabbage

Ingredients & Their Health Benefits

• Cabbage (½ head, sliced) – Packed with vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants, cabbage adds a mild sweetness and satisfying crunch. Its slight bitterness is beautifully balanced by the aromatic spices.

• Onion (½, chopped) – A flavor-building base rich in antioxidants, onions enhance the dish’s depth and aroma.

• Curry Powder (2 tbsp) – A warming blend of turmeric, cumin, coriander, and other spices, offering anti-inflammatory benefits and a vibrant golden hue.

• Oil (2 tbsp, neutral like vegetable or olive oil) – Ensures even cooking and helps release the spices’ full flavor.

• Salt (to taste) – Balances and enhances the natural sweetness of the vegetables and spices.

• Frozen Carrot & Pea Mix (1 cup) – Adds color, texture, and nutrients while keeping the dish moist and hearty.
