Cabbage Fry Recipe | Muttaikose Poriyal without coconut

Cabbage Fry is a simple South Indian accompaniment which goes well with sambar or rasam. This is one of the easy recipes which can be prepared by a novice too. There are so many methods of making cabbage fry. Some of them are Cabbage Kootu, Cabbage Stir-fry using green chili which I have posted earlier.

While sauteeing add only a little water, about a tbsp or two only. If you add more water the cabbage turns to be soggy. Crunchy cabbage tastes better. According to your preference, you can either add green chilies or chili powder. Both tastes different and as I said above I have already posted green chili version. You can check in the above link. If you have shredded cabbage handy you can prepare this recipe in no time. I enjoyed this accompaniment with Onion Sambar and Toor Dal Rasam. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.

• Other variations are you can add green chilies in the place of chili powder.
• If using green chilies skip turmeric powder and add grated coconut at last.
