Cabbage Poriyal

Cabbage is one of the vegetable which will be present in my kitchen 99% of time. All of us love this very simple curry which is very easy and quick side dish that can be made. Also it has lots of medicinal qualities and so minimum once a week we prepare this curry at home.

Items required:

Cabbage - Cut into thin and lengthy pieces
Chilly - 1 no, slit into 2 half.
Curry leaves
Coconut - grated
Oil, Mustard seeds and Jeera - for seasoning
Salt - as required.

Method:

Heat oil in a kadai and add the mustard seeds and jeera to it.Once the mustard starts to splutter, add the cabbage, chilly and curry leaves to the kadai and saute them well. Add little amount of water, salt as required, mix them nicely and cover it with a lid.

Note: For people who love a colourful poriyal, a pinch of turmeric can be added at this point of time.

After few mins, once all the water is absorbed, add the grated coconut and mix it with the poriyal. Switch off the flame and transfer the contents to another container.

This poriyal goes very well with any south indian sambar and rasam. The same way beans poriyal can also be made.

Variation: Chopped onions can be added to the poriyal for added taste and flavour.
