Cabbage poriyal or muttaikose poriyal ( in Tamil) is one classic recipe that is the chopped cabbage with lightly spiced dry red chillies, green chilli and stir-fried with grated coconut that gives you intricate texture. The seasonings are mustard seeds and urad dal is roasted to a golden brown colour that gives you nutty crunch to this cabbage poriyal. "

NotesSeasoning: I have used urad dal, you may use channa dal for the more crunchy texture.

Coconut: Adding fresh grated coconut gives you more flavours to this recipe. If you do not have coconut feel free to add desiccated coconut.

Veggies: You may add chopped carrots and peas along with the cabbage to a healthy veggie poriyal.

Make sure to chop or grate the carrot that helps to cook faster.
