Рецепт Cabbage Fry (2) / Cabbage Poriyal / Muttaikose Poriyal
I have already posted a recipe of cabbage fry, this is a different version of the same recipe. In many special occasions and festivals this recipe is accompanied with mutton(lamb) gravy and rice. It is a best combo/side-dish for spicy non-veg gravies and veg gravies and also for sambar rice and rasam rice. It is almost like a salad and tastes great, it is basically a South Indian food recipe. Cabbage is rich in various nutrients like Protein, phosphorous, copper, Vitamins A, B, and C, and Anti-oxidants. This recipe is so tasty and also maintains the crunchiness of the cabbage. So lets see the preparation.
INGREDIENTS
Cabbage - 1/2
- Big onions - 2 (optional)
- Grated carrot - 2 - 3 spoons (optional)
- Grated coconut - 5 spoons
- Green gram dal/Moong dal - 2 spoons
- Dry red chillies - 2
- Curry leaves - Few
- Mustard seeds - 1/4 spoon
- Urad dal/Black gram - 1/2 spoon (De-skinned)
- Salt
- Oil - 2 spoons
PREPARATION METHOD
Pre-Preparation process:
Grate the cabbage or chop them into slender, thin pieces and keep aside.

TIP 2: Onions gives an extra crunchiness, but it is optional.
TIP 3: You can also steam cook the cabbage for 3 minutes and prepare the same recipe.
Crunchy side-dish is now ready. Enjoy it as a salad or as a accompaniment for rice!!
