  • To the same wok, pour the rest of the oil and scatter the Bengali five spice along with the bay leaves. Let it sizzle for a few seconds. Scatter the sliced cabbage, add the remaining turmeric, salt and the sugar. Toss it around carefully. Cover the wok and let it simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. Check in between and if needed give a stir.
