[/url] - Wash Cabbage thoroughly and cut into fine long strips.
- Grate coconut and keep the freshly grated coconut aside.
- I prefer to microwave Cabbage before cooking for around 5 minutes which is completely optional. If no available with a microwave then take cabbage in a big pan and 2 cups of water.
- Cook on high flame for 5 minutes and discard the water and use the cabbage for cooking.
- In a Pan take Oil and heat sufficiently.
- Temper the Oil with Dried Red Chili, Mustard Seed, Curry leaves and also Urad Daal (Kalaier Daal).
- Cook in low flame until Urad Daal turned golden brown in color. It took me around 1 minute of cooking with continuous stirring in low flame).
- Add cabbage and mix properly with the tempering.
- Now add Salt and continue cooking in low flame for 10 minutes or until Cabbage soften and well-cooked.
- Cook the cabbage uncovered and don’t add water to it.
- Add Coconut once the cabbage is cooked properly.
- Give it a mix and then cook for 2-3 minutes more in medium flame to incorporate the flavor of coconut.
- Switch the flame off and serve Cabbage Poriyal/ Thoran hot with Steamed Rice and Sambhar or pair it with plain Daal.
