Instructions
- peel and remove the top skin from the cabbage. rinse. quarter the cabbage and blanch in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes. then shred cabbage or chop it. We used 350 grams’ cabbage, which yielded 4 cups tightly packed shredded cabbage.
- heat 2 tbsp sesame oil or any oil (sunflower, peanut or safflower oil) in a shallow pan. lower the flame and add ½ tsp mustard seeds and crackle them.
- once the mustard seeds begin to crackle and pop, add 1 tsp urad dal/husked split black gram.
- saute the urad dal till it starts changing color. the urad dal should become a maroonish color. saute on a low flame, so that the urad dal does not get burnt.
- then add ¼ cup sliced pearl onions (sambar onions) or shallots. you can also use ¼ cup of finely chopped onions. also add 10 to 12 curry leaves and 1 to 2 green chilies, chopped. you can also use 1 to 2 dry red chilies instead of green chilies.
- saute for a minute.
- then add ¼ tsp turmeric powder and a pinch of asafoetida. stir well.
- then add the shredded cabbage. also season with salt.
- stir and mix again very well.
- add ¼ cup water. stir again.
- then cover the pan with a tight lid. on a low flame simmer the cabbage till its cooked.
- check after every 5 to 6 minutes and give a stir.
- if the water has dried up and the cabbage is not cooked, sprinkle some more water. cover and continue to cook.
- cook till the cabbage becomes tender. there should be no water in the poriyal before you proceed to the next step.
- then add 3 tbsp grated coconut and mix very well.
- lastly add 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves. this step is optional and you can skip the coriander leaves.
- stir and serve cabbage poriyal hot or warm as a side dish with sambar-rice or rasam rice.
