Cabbage :

Green cabbage is the most basic and is most likely what people think of when they hear the word cabbage. Green cabbage has a light, slightly peppery flavour that will soften as it cooks. They recommend eating raw green cabbage in salads or slaws, as well as roasting or grilling thick wedges.

Mustard Seeds :

They are used as a seasoning rather than a base flavour in many Indian dishes, and they really perk up a lentil or rice dish when fried in a little oil with curry leaves . As a result, mustard seeds are excellent for adding flavour without adding fat to your diet.

Turmeric Powder :

The turmeric root is quite bitter, but has an almost citrusy taste, compared to the powder. Turmeric also has something of a sweet taste, and it is quite earthy. When you use the powder, you're unlikely to notice the texture unless you use a substantial amount, but it is somewhat gritty.
