Ingredients

• 1 medium head, shredded cabbage
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 2 whole dry red chilies
• 10 leaves curry leaves
• 1 small, finely chopped onion
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 cup coconut, freshly grated
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 finely chopped green chili

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your vegetables. Shred the cabbage finely and set it aside. Finely chop the onion and green chili.

Step 2

Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds.

Step 3

Once the mustard seeds start to splutter, add the dry red chilies and curry leaves. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and green chili to the pan. Sauté until the onion turns translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the turmeric powder and stir well to combine.

Step 6

Now, add the shredded cabbage to the pan. Mix well, ensuring the cabbage is coated with the spices.

Step 7

Season with salt and continue to cook the cabbage on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crunchy.

Step 8

Add the freshly grated coconut and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer the cabbage thoran to a serving dish.

Step 10

Serve hot as a side dish or as part of a Paleo meal. Enjoy!
