Cabbage thoran is another recipe in the box of sadhya. It is also a daily recipe in kerala. We can make pure cabbage thoran or cabbage and carrot mixed thoran. Both the method are same. Here the recipe is...


Ingredients

Cabbage : 2 cup finely chopped
Onion : 1/2 cup finely chopped
Ginger : 1 tsp
Green Chilly : 2-3
Coconut : 1/2 cup grated
Cumin Seeds (jeerakam) : 3/4 tsp
Urad dhal : 3/4 tsp (for seasoning)
Garlic : 2 pod
Mustard : 1 tsp
Dry chilly : 2 cut in to pieces
Curry leaves : few
Oil : 2 tbsp

Method:

  • Grind the coconut, cumin seeds, garlic and turmeric roughly. Just give only one back pulse in mixer. 
  • Heat a pan, add oil and splutter the mustard, to this add ginger, urad dhal, onion, dry chillies, curry leaves and saute for 2 minutes till the onion becomes light brown colour.
  • Add cabbage, onion, green chilly and salt to this and saute for 2 min.
  • Add the grounded coconut to this and pat down it tightly and cover the pan with a tight lid.
  • Cook for 10 - 12 minutes and keep check whether the bottom is burned or not. Inorder to avoid bottom burning we can pour little water while closing the lid.
  • Once it cooked for 10 minutes, open the lid and saute the cabbage well, so that only the coconut will spread evenly and adjust salt if needed... and cook uncovered for 5 more minutes and switch off the flame. 
Cabbage thoran is ready :)
