White cabbage and purple cabbage stir fry without added water

The contrasting colors in this recipe is very appealing. I used white and purple cabbage along with yellow bell pepper and carrot to get the color contrast, although this is not noticeable in the picture.

I like it a little mushy and soft to eat with rice. You can reduce the cooking time of cabbage, carrot and bell pepper if you want a colorful and crispy stir fry.

The stir-fry can be consumed on its own or it can be served as a side dish.

I served this with rice, along with spinach curry, dal curry and pappadam.
