Kerala Cabbage Coconut Coleslaw
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 12 teaspoon cumin seed
- 12 teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 1 pinch asafetida powder
- 5 curry leaves, roughly torn up
- 1 medium dried red chili pepper, broken into 3 to 4 pieces
- 12 cup coconut, freshly grated (can substitute store-bought unsweetened grated coconut)
- 4 cups cabbage, shredded
- 34 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
- 12 cup cashews (roasted and salted)
- Heat the sunflower and coconut oils in a wok.
- Add the cumin and mustard seeds; when the seeds start popping, turn off the heat.
- Add the asafetida powder, torn curry leaves and red chili pepper and let them sizzle.
- Add the freshly shredded coconut to the hot oil and lightly toast.
- Once the coconut stops sizzling, about 2 minutes, add the cabbage and salt and toss gently.
- The cabbage will wilt lightly on the outside, yet maintain its crunch and freshness on the inside.
- Garnish with cilantro and cashews.
