CABBAGE CURRY - TAMIL BRAHMIN STYLE 

Light spiced, no onion no garlic, protein-rich 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. 

Soak dal

Always soak dal till it turns soft and press. It helps with perfect cooking. You can also soak in hot water

STEAM COOKING cabbage. - BEST HEALTHY CURRY

If you cook cabbage with excess water, you might lose nutrients while discarding the muttaikose cooking water. You can cook cabbage in a pressure cooker with very little water.  If you are not comfortable releasing the pressure, this steaming is perfect.

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 it is completely drained.

HOW LONG SHOULD I STEAM-COOK  cabbage +dal?

To make it kid-friendly texture I cook it for around 10 minutes. Adjust time according to your preferred texture. Cooking time might slightly vary based on the way you chop cabbage and also the way dal is soaked.

TIPS FOR STEAMING

• Avoid thick cabbage stems
• Always soak dal till they are soft press
• idiyappam plate with pores works best
• Always make sure you add enough water 
• spread and cook 
• if you are doubling the quantity, cook in batches to avoid crowding 

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
• Urad dal for tempering
• Sauté onion and garlic; prepare poriyal
• Temper ginger instead of using ginger powder
• Almond flour instead of coconut
