Notes
- Serve it your way: Pair it with rice, enjoy with rotis, or include it in a traditional sadya feast. Cabbage thoran effortlessly elevates any meal.
- Don’t overcook the cabbage: Keep it covered while cooking, but check periodically; cabbage should stay tender with a slight bite for the best texture.
- Use any coconut you have: Both freshly grated and frozen coconut work well in this dish.
- Cut matters: Slice the cabbage long and thin for a more traditional texture, or chop it small; you will be surprised how the cut can subtly influence the final taste and feel.
- A versatile part of sadya: Thoran is a staple in Kerala’s festive sadya meals during Vishu and Onam. It can be made with many vegetables like long beans (payar thoran), green beans, or carrots, and pairs wonderfully with rice or rotis.
