Finely slice the cabbage and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat coconut oil over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add cumin seeds, dry red chilies, and curry leaves. Stir lightly until the cumin seeds brown and the aroma of the spices are released.
Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet and stir thoroughly to mix with the spices.
Add the chopped green chili, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the cabbage is evenly coated with the spices.
Cover and cook for about 5 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
Add the grated coconut and black pepper powder, and mix well.
Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve hot as a side dish or light main course.
