I feel a recipe is only a theme, which an intelligent cook can play each time with a variation. Madam Benoit

People always say the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen , nor touched , nor heard but are felt in the heart . But for food it's all in it's looks, flavours and taste.

Cabbage with Grated Coconut (Cabbage Thoran)

I make this often for lunch as cabbage is rich with iron. My early days of cooking were very funny. The very first time when I made this I used lots of water and the cabbage was very sticky. My friend Deepti struggled a lot to convert it into an eatable form. Later on I became an expert in this.




Here is the recipe
Grated Cabbage – 1/2 kg
Grated Coconut – ¼ cup
Turmeric Powder – ½ tsp
Green Chilies – 3 (each cut into half)
Mustard Seeds – A few
Curry Leaves - A few
Salt to taste
Oil as Required

Heat some oil in a pan .Add Mustard, Chilies and Curry Leaves. Stir for a minute.
Add grated cabbage, turmeric powder and salt. Stir for few minutes. Cover the pan.
Let it be on flame for 6-7 minutes. Stir in between.
Add grated coconut. Mix well.
Switch off the flame. Garnish it with few more Curry leaves. Serve with lunch.
