In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.

Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.

Add the minced garlic, chopped onions, and green chili. Sauté until the onions become translucent.

Add the sliced cabbage, turmeric powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.

Sprinkle with black pepper powder.

Mix thoroughly and cook on low heat for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Switch off the stove.

Add the chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice.

Garnish with roasted peanuts and broken cashew nuts.
