- A second later, put in the mustard seeds. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop, put in the dried red chile. Stir once.
- The chile should turn dark red in seconds. Now put in the cabbage, carrots and green chile.
- Turn the heat down to medium and stir the vegetables around for half a minute.
- Add the salt, Sugar and green coriander.
