- 10 leaves curry leaves
- 1 piece green chili
- 0.5 cup fresh coconut, grated

Instructions
Finely chop the cabbage and set it aside. Slice the green chili lengthwise.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil. Allow them to splutter for a few seconds.
Break the dried red chilies into halves and add them to the pan along with the curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced green chili and turmeric powder to the pan. Stir to combine.
Introduce the chopped cabbage to the pan and sprinkle with salt. Stir well to coat the cabbage with the spices.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the cabbage cook over medium-low heat for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
Once the cabbage is cooked, add the grated coconut and mix well to incorporate.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
