Cabbage and Peas Indian Style (Bund gobi aur mater)

I didn't have anything in the fridge, but needed something to eat for lunch. I found half a cabbage, so that was the basis for this meal.

Ingredients >  2-3 Tbsp olive oil >  2 bay leaves >  3/4 tsp whole cumin seeds >  700 gm cabbage, finely shredded >  1 tsp ground turmeric >  1/2 tsp chilli powder; OR 1/4 tsp Togarashi seasoning >  1 1/2 tsp ground cumin >  1 tsp ground coriander >  2 ripe tomatoes, chopped >  3/4 tsp salt >  1/2 tsp sugar >  100 gm peas (can be frozen)

Steps 1.  Heat the oil in a large wok or karai over a med-high heat. 2.  Add the bay leaves and whole cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. 3. Add the cabbage and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. 4.  Add the tomatoes, all the other spices, salt and sugar, and mix well with the cabbage. 5. Lower the heat, cover the the pan, and cook for 15 minutes. 6. Add the peas and cover again.      *If fresh peas are used, cook for another 15 minutes;      *If you use frozen peas, cook for another 5 minutes. 7. Remove the cover from the pan,   turn the heat up to medium-high, and while continuously stirring, cook until the dish is dry.  Serves 4
