Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon urad dal
- 10 pieces curry leaves
- 1 medium green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams fresh coconut, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Begin by washing and shredding the green cabbage into thin slices. Set aside.
Slice the green chili lengthwise. Chop the fresh coriander leaves and set aside.
In a large pan or kadai, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add cumin seeds and urad dal to the pan, stirring until the urad dal turns golden brown.
Add the curry leaves and sliced green chili to the pan, sautéing briefly for about 30 seconds.
Introduce the shredded cabbage to the pan, stirring well to combine with the spices.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder and salt over the cabbage, stirring to ensure even distribution.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook the cabbage on low-medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the cabbage is tender and cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to evaporate any excess moisture.
Add the freshly grated coconut to the pan, stirring thoroughly to mix it with the cabbage.
Remove from heat and garnish the Keto Cabbage Poriyal with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite keto meal.
