Instructions for Muttaikose Poriyal Recipe - Cabbage Stir fry With Coconut

To begin making the Muttaikose Poriyal Recipe/ Cabbage Poriyal, get the cabbage chopped or sliced and prep the rest of the ingredients and keep them ready.

Heat a teaspoon of oil a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and urad dal. Allow them to crackle. Roast the urad dal until it gets lightly browned.

Once the dal is browned, add the curry leaves, green chillies, cabbage and salt to taste.
