Cabbage Poriyal recipe  | Muttaikose poriyal | Cabbage curry is a tasty South Indian style poriyal variety. it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare this healthy poriyal. Tips & tricks to make non-mushy cabbage curry.

Cabbage curry - Tamil brahmin style 

Light spiced no onion no garlic cabbage poriyal with lots of coconuts is a traditional Tamil brahmin curry (poriyal variety). Coconut-based poriyal prepared in coconut oil gives the best taste. 

Can I skip washing the cabbage in a colander?

I would recommend washing the cabbage in a colander as it helps to drain all the water. Drain the water completely then prepare the no mushy cabbage curry. Press the cabbage to make sure is completely drained.

How to make sure cabbage is with the right amount of moisture?

Water shouldn't drip out from the colander, but cabbage should have moisture. When you touch the cabbage you can feel it but water shouldn't drip when you try to squeeze.

Can I cover and cook poriyal?

No, I recommend cooking cabbage in an open pot on medium flame. Covering the pan might make cabbage soggy. 

Will cabbage get burnt/ dry without adding water?

Moisture in the washed cabbage and salt is enough to cook cabbage just right. If you added a thick stem you might have to sprinkle a few drops of water but avoid adding water. 

cooking oil for poriyal?

I would recommend coconut oil for coconut-based poriyal. You can add any oil of your choice.

Few variations for Kose poriyal 

You can use,

• red chilli instead of green chilli
• Chana dal for tempering
• Saute onion and garlic; prepare poriyal
• Temper ginger instead of using ginger powder
• Almond flour instead of coconut
