 CABBAGE PORIYAL (With Moong dhal & coconut)


The cabbage is packed with nutrients. Half a cup of cooked cabbage has about a third of the vitamin C you need for the day. It also gives you doses of fiber, folate, potassium, magnesium, vitamins A & K, and more. It is also loaded with Antioxidants, It's good for inflammation, It's good for your digestion, It can help to keep your heart healthy, It may help keep cancer away, and it's the most flexible vegetable to easily incorporate into an everyday diet. 

The cabbage is my family's favorite vegetable, we just love it. Especially my daughter even loves to eat fresh raw cabbages. One of our friends once said, "Your family cannot survive without cabbages". Of course, cabbages are the main item on our grocery list always, we would love to add cabbages from Soups to Noodles. So it's obvious that this poriyal is my family's all-time favorite.

The cabbage poriyal will be a good combination with Sambar, Rasam, and Vaththakulambu as well.
My personal favorite combo is Cabbage poriyal with Sambar, it will be heavenly. And this recipe is not just tasty it includes dhal, coconut, and less oily which is very healthy so it will be suitable for every age group in the family. So let's check out the recipe,
