    Why we ❀️ it

    Not every meal has to be a feast; sometimes we just need something quick, filling, comforting, nutritious, and easy to make. What I have here is precisely one of these dishes.

    I have shamelessly stolen borrowed this dish from my mother-in-law, whom I have praised many times in this blog for her talent as a home cook (among her other skills). This is a dish that has become a family classic in her home, and now in mine, and one of my go-to easy dinner ideas.

    About this recipe:

    There are a couple of things I'd like you to keep in mind. The first is that, as I repeat in the recipe notes, "curry powder" has a very loose definition, with each brand/vendor having their own mix, and level of spiciness. I have tried it now with at least three different curry powders, and each one tastes different. The one I bought from the local supermarket was markedly milder, and required 4 tablespoons! to get the flavor I like. So keep that in mind, and start with a small amount and add until you find the flavor you like.

    The cabbage should be a little wilted, but not mushy. It should be "al dente", so keep an eye on it and don't let it overcook.

    Buen provecho!

    Tips and Notes

    Curry powder varies a lot in spiciness from brand to brand. You will need to adjust the amount to your own preference. I personally prefer this dish mild to medium spicy.
    In our family this is a one-pot meal; we don't serve anything else with it, but if you prefer, you could serve it with white rice.
    For a keto or low-carb version, do not add carrot, and the carbohydrates are reduced to 16g per serving.
