CABBAGE MEZHUKKUPURATTI / SAUTEED CABBAGE

HAI FRIENDS....

Have a Wonderful Day to  All


   Today I am presenting a variety side dish for rice. Most of the people making Cabbage thoran (Cabbage Stir Fry with coconut) usually and even in sadya because it is very easy to make. But we can make more easy and tasty side dish with Cabbage, that is Cabbage Mezhukkupuratti. Actually Mezhukkupuratti is a style of preparation for vegetarian dishes in Keala where the vegetable is stir-fried or sauteed with spices. This recipe can be prepared in ten minutes and too easy to make. I don't like cabbage thoran due to cabbage's odor. But in cabbage mezhukkupuratti we can reduce that odor by adding ginger and its very tasty too.

CABBAGE MEZHUKKUPURATTI

   Cabbage is agood source of vitamin K, vitamin C and dietary fiber. Doctors suggest that cruciferous vegetables, including cabbage, may have protective effects against colon cancer. But it is said that cabbage is not good for thyroid patients because cabbage contain a small amount of thiocyanate which is not good for them.

See the recipe:

INGREDIENTS

Cabbage - 1 (medium size) (chopped)
Onion - 1 (big) (chopped)
Ginger - 1 big piece (chopped)
Green Chilly - 3 (chopped)
Curry Leaves- 2
Mustard Seeds - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 teaspoon (optional) (I don't add turmeric powder in this mezhukkupuratti)
Salt - to taste
Cooking Oil - 1 teaspoon


PREPARATION

   Wash cabbage thoroughly and drain. Chop it into small pieces. Chop onion, ginger and green chillies and keep aside. Heat oil in a pan (nonstick pan preferred) and splutter mustard seeds. Add chopped cabbage, onion, ginger, green chilly, curry leaves and salt to it and stir well. Saute it till the onion get translucent. Cover it with a lid and cook in low flame for 4-5 minutes. Open the lid and stir well. Now our Cabbage mezhukkupuratti is ready. Turn off flame. Serve it hot with rice and enjoy...
