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.
