Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat the Nepal Himalayan Spice Infused Olive Oil Blend and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
  3. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
  4. Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red pepper flakes, then stir for 15 seconds to toast the spices lightly.
  5. Add the cabbage, tomato, salt, and black pepper, then toss well so everything is coated.
  6. Pour in the water, cover the skillet, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the cabbage turns tender.
  7. Uncover the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes if you want a little more color and a drier finish.
  8. Stir in the lemon juice and cilantro, then taste and adjust the salt before serving warm.

Notes

This recipe leans on the featured blend for its flavor base, so keep the seasoning balanced and let the cabbage stay tender rather than mushy. If your cabbage is very dense, give it an extra splash of water and another minute or two covered. Avoid adding the lemon juice too early so the finish stays bright.
The blend name is intentionally used as the flavor anchor for this dish, and the recipe stays flexible enough for home cooks who want a simple vegetable side or a light meal over rice.
