Purple Cabbage and Peas Poriyal – South India style Cabbage & Peas stir-fry.
Cabbage Poriyal or Cabbage Upkari is an easy South Indian style preparation where shredded cabbage is sauteed in a tempering of mustard seeds, udad dal and spices. In South Indian cuisine, Poriyal/Thoran/Upkari holds a special place as a staple side-dish. Today I even have used purple cabbage to make the poriyal and have also added green peas to it. The mixture of purple cabbage and green peas makes the dish not only a visible delight but in addition a nutritious addition to the weight-reduction plan.
In regards to the recipe
Purple Cabbage and peas Poriyal is a pleasant twist to the standard poriyal. This mixture not only adds a burst of color but gives a recent dimension of taste to the normal cabbage poriyal.
The preparation of Purple Cabbage and peas Poriyal follows the identical recipe of traditional poriyal. Shredded purple cabbage and green peas are added to a tenmpering of mustard seeds, hing, curry leaves, green chillies, garlic and onion. Once the veggies are cooked, freshly grated coconut is added and is finally garnished with chopped coriander leaves.
The tempering of mustard seeds, udad dal, curry leaves and addition of fresh coconut imparts the South Indian flavour to this dish.
Purple Cabbage and peas Poriyal will be served as a side dish with dal rice, sambar rice or will be paired with phulkas.
