2. Heat up a wide mouthed frying pan over the medium flame & add into it the coconut oil (since the Kerala Cuisines are actually over indulgent to it hence, strongly recommend, for its finest tastes & aroma), add in the tempering spices to it- one by one
3. Allow it to splutter & turn aromatic, add in the cabbage mixture now- mix everything well together until nicely combined and well blended, reduce the flame to the medium-low, cover it up & let it slow cook for about 10-15 mins time or until well cooked
4. Keep stirring gently & occasionally in between so as to have a close check on it that it doesn’t stick to the pan- Usually, water isn’t added in such recipes but if you think that the cabbage is too dry & still yet to be cooked properly…Add in the salt & red chilli powder, mix everything well together & let it cook well

6. Now, is the good time to add in the freshly grated coconut (preferably), or if that’s not handy or available then, the desiccated ones, mix gently-Transfer it to a separate serving bowl, add in a dash of coconut oil on its top, garnish with a sprig of fresh curry leaves & sprinkle some more coconut & it’s ready to be served hot with piping hot steamed rice, appalam, pachdi, banana chips etc.
