Cabbage thoran

A very good healthy side dish for rice. The simplicity of this dish will force you to have it every time with rice. These are the ingredients required:

Cabbage : ¼ of a medium sized one.
Red chilli powder : ½ teaspoon
Turmeric powder : ½ teaspoon
Coconut oil : 2 table spoon
Mustard seeds : ½ teaspoon
Salt : ½ teaspoon


Cut the cabbage into small pieces
Add turmeric and red chilli powder into a bowl. Mix them and then mix the cabbage to it so that the powders get stick to the cabbage well.
Mix the salt in a very little of water and pour it to the cabbage and mix it again.
Turn on the stove and heat a pan. Add coconut oil to it and after sometime add mustard seeds to it. When it stops spluttering, add the cabbage to it. Stir it well initially and then stir it occasionally. When the cabbage colour changes to a semi transparent, turn of the stove and have your cabbage thoran.

TIPS: varying the amount of spice powders will change the taste of the thoran. Try different quantities and find out your own taste!
