1 1/2 pounds savoy cabbage
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon canola oil
2 whole cloves
1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
20 curry leaves

1 cup chopped fresh or canned tomato
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
Kosher salt

1
Cut cabbage into 6 to 8 wedges, with the widest part no more than 2 inches, leaving the core intact so the wedges stay together while cooking.
2
Place a heavy skillet, large enough to hold wedges fairly snugly, over medium heat.
3
Add 1/4 cup oil and heat until it shimmers.
4
Add the cabbage, and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes a side.
5
Transfer to a plate, and set aside.
6
Reduce heat to medium-low, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and heat until it shimmers.
7
Add cloves, mustard seeds, curry leaves, bay leaf, shallot and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
8
Add ginger, turmeric, 1 tablespoon jalapeno, tomato and broth.
9
Season with salt to taste.
10
If desired, add more jalapeno to taste.
11
Increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil.
12
Add cabbage, fitting it tightly together in the bottom of the pot.
13
Cover, reduce heat to medium, and braise cabbage until tender, about 10 minutes, turning it once halfway through cooking.
14
Remove and discard cloves, curry leaves and bay leaf.
15
If desired, serve with rice.
