Cabbage is one such veggie that is green, leafy and very rich in fiber content. It is a very versatile vegetable. It can be eaten raw or cooked. Since it is rich in fiber content it is a very good veggie that cleanses the intestinal system of the body. I usually make stir-fry, Dal and Kootu with cabbage and it is the most liked veggie in my home. This stir-fry is very easy to make and can be eaten with Rice, Roti or can be munched upon just like that.

Method:
- Shred the cabbage into small pieces. Wash and drain and set it aside.
- In a pan, heat oil. Add mustard seeds, chana dal and urad dal.
- Once the mustard seeds splutter and the dal turns golden brown, add the green chillies.
- Now add the drained cabbage, salt and turmeric powder. Mix all the seasoning well with the cabbage.Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes on medium heat.
- Keep stirring once in between. Once the cabbage has turned translucent it is cooked. Let the cabbage be a little crunchy. It tastes better that way.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
- Enjoy the stir-fry the best with Rasam rice!!
Notes:
- You can also use red chillies instead of green chillies..It will be a contrast to the green color of the cabbage.
- You can add shredded coconut about 2-3 minutes before turning off the flame. It is a variation from the normal cabbage curry.
- Using turmeric powder is optional. You may choose to skip its use.
