Cabbage-Cumin fried rice

After a long day at work, I got back home to find the refrigerator almost empty, except for some cabbage. With neither the time nor the energy to cook anything else, this very simple, yet healthy, hearty meal was a godsend.


Ingredients:

basmati rice - 1 cup
cabbage - 1 cup (grated)
cumin seeds - 1 tbsp
oil - 1 tbsp
green chillies - 2 (chopped fine)
turmeric powder - a pinch
cashews - a few
salt - 1 tsp (adjust according to taste)

Method:

Heat oil. Add cumin seeds and cashews. Fry for a minute and add green chillies. Then add washed rice, cabbage, salt and turmeric powder. Stir fry for a couple of minutes. Add 3 cups of water and microwave for 15 minutes or until rice is cooked.
