About

This dish is at the heart of everything Mowgli is about. It is a dish that we eat at home at least twice a week. It is the best that Indians can do with the best of the humble, overwintered, robust, chlorophyll-rich, Great British veg.

Ingredients

3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp mustard seeds
2 garlic cl

Method

Put the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan set over a medium heat. When hot, add the mustard seeds and fry until they fizz and pop. Add the garlic and ginger and continue to fry for 30 seconds, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Add the white cabbage, ground turmeric, chilli powder, salt, sugar and English mustard and mix well, then cover with a lid
