Cabbage Moong Dal Fry | Goes Poriyal | Poriyal Varieties

Cabbage Moong Dal Curry is another one of those poriyals that need a technique in getting it right. Boiled cabbage does not smell very appetizing, so the art is avoid the smell and make the vegetable taste delicious.

And adding Yellow moong dal not only adds protein, but makes it very tasty as well. Cabbage is one of those staple vegetables that get bought every week. When there is no plan to prepare other vegetables, it invariably becomes a cabbage time.

I love kootu with cabbage, other masala stir fries. However the best one to enjoy the taste of cabbage comes with this dish. Cooking the moong dal to the right consistency is very important. I know many would not prefer to relish the cabbage in general, though I must say that they will change when they get to taste this stir fry. This not only makes a great side dish for rice, you can serve it with rotis as well.
