Cabbage poriyal

.

South Indian dishes never be complete without any side dishes. I bought a very big cabbage last week. I was wondering how to complete it & to start with I decided to make this simple poriyal partially microwaved & pan frying. Especially for the busy ladies & for the people like me - takes some time to come out from the morning drozzy, this would be best menu idea. This goes good with sambar & best for puli kuzhambu.

1. Finely chopped cabbage - 500 gms
2. Oil - 1 tbsp
3. Mustard seeds - 1 tsp

6. Curry leaves - 1 tbsp
7. Red chillies - 4 to 5 nos (as per ur spice level)
8. Dessicated coconut - 1 tbsp
