Instructions
Begin by removing the outer leaves of the cabbage and finely shredding it. Set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Pour in the water, add turmeric powder and salt. Mix everything together.
Cover the pan and let the cabbage cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes or until it’s tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the cabbage is cooked, remove the lid and add the grated coconut.
Mix thoroughly and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the coconut is well combined with the cabbage.
Turn off the heat and serve the Low Carb Cabbage Poriyal hot as a side dish.
