    Cabbage Poriyal | Simple Cabbage Stir Fry

    Jun 1, 2015 · 8 Comments

    My 172nd recipe, "Cabbage Poriyal", a simple, healthy and flavorful South Indian side. This yet again is a recipe which is not in my favorites list. Before marriage, I do not really know when I stopped loving cabbage. I am sure that it is not due to its taste. It should most probably be due to the headaches I used to get soon after eating cabbage. All changed after marriage. Cabbage is one of RK's very favorite veggie. And it has probably traveled through the genes, since it is my FIL's favorite too. He attributes cabbage to benefit your kidneys and helps you keep away from nasty kidney stones. Whenever there is a festival to be celebrated in RK's house, the meal would always include a wonderful sambar, potato curry and this lovely cabbage poriyal. With an understanding of the greatness of the cabbage, when I tasted the cabbage for the first time after marriage, it tasted so wonderful. I did not get the headache again. Seems like, it was the mind, playing some nasty tricks all the while. Though this is a very simple poriyal, the flavor is amazing and extremely delicious. The jeera, chilli and coconut contributes mainly in enhancing the natural flavor of the cabbage. It is the perfect side to have along with rice and any spicy south Indian kuzhambu 🙂

    Notes | FAQ

    - Adjust the spiciness (green chilli) as per your taste.
    - Slightly under cook the cabbage. It would taste good if it still slightly crunchy.
    - Coconut is optional, however I strongly recommend adding since it gives a wonderful flavor to the poriyal.
    - You can also use dry red chilli instead of green chilli.
