Notes
Tips to make Cabbage poriyal:
Cabbage : Get the cabbage that is crisp and fresh. You can choose the purple cabbage as well.
Coconut oil: I have used coconut oil for this recipe, you can swap to any vegetable oil,gingelly oil or sesame oil.
Seasoning: I have used urad dal, you may use channa dal for the more crunchy texture.
Coconut: Adding fresh grated coconut gives you more flavours to this recipe. If you do not have coconut feel free to add desiccated coconut.
Veggies: You may add chopped carrots and peas along with the cabbage to a healthy veggie poriyal.
Make sure to chop or grate the carrot that helps to cook faster.
