#Rainbowweek7 - Cabbage Poriyal is a simple stir fry dish, a South Indian preparation, very popular in Tamil Nadu. Both healthy and nutritious, this side dish is a very quick recipe with fresh grated coconut added to the end product. I also added some peanuts and coriander leaves, which is purely optional.

It is almost similar to Cabbage Thoran, another kerala speciality. Onions may be added if preferred. It can be relished as a side dish with either rice or chapattis. It goes very well with curd-rice or sambar-rice.
