Cabbage-Carrot stir-fry/subzi, a quick and easy dry subzi, with carrots and cabbage, spiced with chilies and coconut. A quick subzi to make for luncbox.

Everyday cooking at home includes a simple subzi, rasam/dal along with rice. Vegetable stir-fry with coconut is something i make regularly at home. I feel it is the freshest way possible one can eat a vegetable, not entirely raw or overcooked, just the right cooking with less spices possible.

My younger one loves carrot, but only raw. He can munch on a carrot like a happy bunny, and doesnt like when it is cooked. Whereas my elder one hates raw carrots and he would run a mile if somebody offers him one. Yes, both are my products, yet totally different.

Like carrots, cabbage is another love-hate vegetable, some like it raw in a salad, pickles some cannot stand it raw because of its smell. I dont prefer to eat cabbage raw, my husband loves it in salads.
