Are you looking for a quick and easy Indian dish? Try out the Cabbage Thoran - a nutritious and delicious vegetable stir-fry from southern India, made with fresh cabbage, coconut, and spices. Perfect for a healthy meal any time of the day!

Cabbage Thoran is a popular recipe from the southern part of India, specifically from the state of Kerala. It is a dish often prepared in homes, especially during festivals or special occasions. The word “thoran” means a dry vegetable stir-fry in Malayalam, the local language of Kerala.

Cabbage Thoran is a straightforward dish to make and requires very few ingredients. All you need is fresh cabbage, coconut, spices, and a few other things in your kitchen. The best part is that you can easily customize the recipe to suit your taste preferences. If you like your food to be spicy, you can add more chillies. If you prefer a milder taste, you can skip the chillies altogether.

One thing that makes Cabbage Thoran so healthy is that it is cooked with very little oil. Instead, it is made with freshly grated coconut, which gives the dish a delicious flavour and aroma. Coconut is a popular ingredient in Indian cooking known for its health benefits. It is high in fibre, vitamins, and minerals and has been shown to improve heart health and aid digestion.

Cabbage Thoran is a nutritious and delicious dish for any occasion. So why try it and experience the taste of India in your home?
