Cabbage curry recipe – Cabbage poriyal with moong dal – Muttaikose curry – Tamil Brahmin wedding style cabbage curry recipe
A very simple and protein-rich cabbage curry recipe with the addition of moong dal. Usually, moong dal is added to increase the volume of the veggies. Also, that will give a nice taste to the curry.
Usually, they add carrot, peas along with cabbage as it will give a nice volume to the curry. I remember my grandmother used to make this curry during my childhood days. Also in most Tamil Brahmin weddings, they used to serve this curry.
I have posted a few varieties of cabbage curry recipes in Jeyashris’s kitchen. You can check out, Kerela style cabbage thoran, North Indian style cabbage sabzi, Cabbage paruppu usili and Cabbage carrot peas poriyal
