How to Make Muttakos Poriyal South Indian Cabbage

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cover immediately. Cook until the seeds begin to pop (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Add the chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and cumin seeds. Sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the thinly sliced cabbage and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender-crisp. If it starts to stick, add a teaspoon of water or a little more sesame oil.
  5. Season with salt to taste. If using, stir in the grated coconut.
  6. Remove from heat. Let the Muttakos Poriyal rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the turmeric to fully color the cabbage and the flavors to meld.
  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro (optional) and serve hot or cold. Enjoy!
