    Cabbage Poriyal is a classic stir fry from Tamil Nadu. It's my favourite way of eating cabbage and I was surprised that I haven't shared this till date. The whole everyday Tamil Nadu thali I cooked a while ago, was almost an afterthought for this.

    In Tamil Nadu's style of making this poriyal, we add freshly grated coconut, while in Andhra cuisine, it's mostly served without coconut. We make this poriyal so often and I love to pair it with Sambar, that when I was checking it out for some reason, I was so surprised this wasn't here.

    So this is our simplest method of cooking cabbage and is so healthy as we add just about a tsp of oil and it gets cooked with its steam. This is part of BM#74 Week 2, on Stir-Fries.

    This was part of the Tamil Nadu Thali I cooked sometime back. The dishes on the plate are  Chow Chow Moong Dal Kootu, Pepper Plantain Chips, Spring Onion Drumstick Sambar. If you want to know how I cooked everything, you can check how to plan a Tamil Nadu Thali

      One of the best stir fry in Indian cuisine, and of course this thali is tempting.
