Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cabbage
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon urad dal
- 2 pieces dried red chilies
- 10 leaves curry leaves
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 0.5 cup freshly grated coconut
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 finely chopped green chilies
Instructions
Start by shredding the cabbage finely using a sharp knife or a mandolin slicer.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds. When they start to splutter, add the urad dal and cook until it turns golden brown.
Add the dried red chilies and curry leaves, sauté for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onion and green chilies, sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the shredded cabbage, turmeric, and salt. Mix everything well.
Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the cabbage cook for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Once the cabbage is tender yet still slightly crunchy, add the freshly grated coconut.
Mix everything, allow it to cook for another 2 minutes, and then remove it from the heat.
Serve the Whole30 Cabbage Poriyal warm as a side dish.
