Cabbage Thoran

This is one dish that everyone will be familiar as its one main item in Kerala Sadya/Feast.
Cabbage always reminds me of our school days where i first learnt about Fiber and that Cabbage has lots of fiber in it (cool way to remember ryt?)
I was not a big fan of this dish but later i found my way into it through grated coconut :-)
Yes, i added the grated coconut in while cooking and it really increased the taste of the food.
Now i just love it. And its easy to prepare too. So there is nothing stopping you from preparing it

Ingredients (Serves 2)
Oil - 1 tbsp

Heat oil in a pan, and splutter the mustard seeds.
Add the urad dal, curry leaves and green chilly and saute till the urad dal gets a light brown color.
Now add the onion and salt and mix it
Dont saute the onion completely as it will be done while the cabbage gets cooked
Now add the cabbage and turmeric pdr and cook closed with a lid for 2-3 mins
Now mix all well and you can see that the onion is done by this time.

The cabbage will change its texture when its cooked.
Do a test taste and stop the heat.
