Now cut each section lengthwise into very fine, long shreds.
Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the
cumin, fennel, and sesame seeds.
When sesame seeds begin to pop, put in the onion. Stir and fry for 3
to 4 minutes, or until the oinion has browned a bit.
Put in the cabbage. Stir and fry for about 6 minutes or until the
cabbage has browned somewhat.
Now put in the salt and red chili powder.
Turn down the heat and cook, stirring now and then, for another 7 to 8
minutes or until the onions appear carmelized and soft.
Add the lemon juice and garam masala. Stir and serve.
