Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cabbage
- 50 grams Coconut, grated
- 2 units Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Urad dal (split black gram)
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 50 milliliters Water
Instructions
Start by removing the outer leaves of the cabbage if they are wilted or damaged. Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Slice the cabbage thinly to get fine shreds.
Finely chop the green chilies and set them aside.
In a large pan or skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds.
When the mustard seeds begin to splutter, add the urad dal and sauté until the dal turns golden brown.
Add the chopped green chilies and curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds until the curry leaves become crisp.
Add the asafoetida and turmeric powder to the pan and stir quickly.
Now, add the shredded cabbage to the pan, followed by salt. Stir well to coat the cabbage with the spices.
Add water to the pan and cover with a lid. Let the cabbage cook on low heat for about 5-7 minutes until it is soft, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently to evaporate any remaining water.
Add the grated coconut into the pan and mix well with the cabbage.
Cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the pan from heat. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.
Transfer the cabbage poriyal to a serving bowl and serve hot as a side dish with rice and sambar or any other Indian meal.
