Cabbage needs no introduction…but thoran needs it. Thoran is stir fry-dry curry from Kerala. Cabbage Thoran is a usual visitor in Kerala’s regular meal and it’s as part of the Kerala Sadya menu served along with other dishes.
Needless to say we Keralites love to have thoran in every day lunch menu. It is usually made from a variety of seasonal produces and backyard veggies.
Each thoran recipe is prepared in a variety of way with different combinations and spices but unavoidable ingredient in all these thorans is coconut, a staple of the Kerala diet because coconut trees grow abundantly.
Today I’m sharing classic Kerala style cabbage thoran -cabbage stir fry with coconut which is very to easy to make and delicious healthy dish. It goes well rice, rice gruel or chapathi .

In the method of preparation the green chillies are not mentioned, are they ground in the coconut mixture or are they sauted with mustard and curry leaves?
