Cabbage Upkari


Serves 2
Preparation Time (10 min)
Cooking Time - 15 mins approx

Ingredients
 
1/2 Cabbage (medium sized - chopped)
Grated coconut - 1 tbsp
Green Chillies - 2 - slit lengthwise
Salt - as per taste

For Tempering

Oil - 1 tbsp 
Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
Urad Dal - 1 tsp

Method 

Wash the chopped cabbage thoroughly.


Heat a wide pan on medium flame. Add the oil. When the oil is a bit hot, add the mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds start spluttering, add the urad dal into it. When the urad dal starts turning brown, add the green chillies into it. Fry for 1 min. (You can also add chopped onions and fry for another 3 mins - but I prefer it without the onions)




Add the chopped cabbage into it. Add salt and mix well. Cover with a lid and let it cook for 10 mins. Lift the lid and stir. Cook until the cabbage is tender-cooked (it turns almost translucent - that could be one indication). Add grated coconut to the dish and mix well. Remove from flame. Cabbage curry is ready to serve. Enjoy !!


P.S: There is no coconut added in this picture.

  1. hmm...looks yummy... I think adding onion enhances the taste. My mom does it with onion and it tastes yummy...I do this version at home though.

  2. My mom used to make so many dishes w/o onion and by adding grated coconut, that I have started to like them that way... adding onion just kills it for me sometimes, not that I am against onion or anything :)...well, you just get used to some kinds of food rt ? :)
