This deliciously spiced Indian cabbage with peas is spiced with cumin seeds, coriander, turmeric. In India it is called sabzi which means "vegetable dish." It's got a bit of a kick from the cayenne pepper, and a nice char on the cabbage gives it a smoky flavor! A delicious traditional Indian side dish!

Heat the oil on medium high in a saucepan. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil; if the seed cracks right away, the oil is ready. Add asafetida, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and turmeric. After the seeds crack add the green peas and serrano chili, stir for a few seconds.
Add the cabbage, cayenne pepper, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Cover the pan and let the cabbage cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then uncover, and let the cabbage cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom layer is very slightly browned giving it a little char. Stir again and turn off the heat when done. Top with cilantro and serve.
