Purple and Red Stir Fry

You can “smell” the food before you eat it, that’s what has been said about good food. With this dish on the table you will be forced to “look” at the food before you eat it! The lovely bright purple of the cabbage combined with the radiant red radish is simply not something you can overlook.

The bright alluring colors are not the only reason why I love to cook this one; it is the 5 minutes of cooking time which appeals the most. Yes, you read it right, FIVE minutes!

The colors, flavor and minimal cooking time, all together make this an excellent side to add to your menu when cooking an exhaustive meal. It can also be a last minute addition to your dining table if needed.

Ingredients

Finely sliced purple cabbage – 2 cups

Sliced red radish – half a cup

Dried oregano – 1 tsp

Red chili flakes – as tolerated

Cooking oil – 1 tsp

White vinegar – 2 tsp

Salt and pepper

Pasta and Paratha

Heat oil in a skillet and throw in the Oregano and green chili. Cook on high flame for half a minute and toss the sliced red radish. Keep cooking on high flame for another minute. Stir in the finely sliced purple cabbage, salt and pepper. Keep stirring and cooking for 2 more minutes. Turn the heat off, add the vinegar and mix well. Serve immediately.

Tips

·         The addition of vinegar gives this dish a longer life. You can store leftovers in the

 Refrigerator for up to 4 days.
