Kerala Style Cabbage Stir Fry | Cabbage Thoran Recipe

Thoran Recipe is a simple, quick dry curry prepared with veggies like carrot, beans, spinach, drumstick, beetroot etc. Any Vishu or Onam Sadhya feast is incomplete without this thoran recipe in Kerala Cuisine. From chopping the veggie very finely, then tempering in coconut oil and the use of shallots are the main points to be noted here. I always pair it with Kerala Style Sambar or Ulli Theeyal or Moru Curry and enjoy the Kerala Cuisine to the fullest. I prepared this Cabbage Thoran Recipe, before 2 weeks and thought of sharing before the Vishu festival, but for the past 4 days,  I completely out of Internet Access, tried many other ways to post it but really could not. But  better late than never, am I right? Furthermore, I have shared this Kerala Style Cabbage Stir fry with a short YouTube video, If you like the video, please Like it, Share it and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel.
