Cabbage Poriyal with step by step photos and video is a simple cabbage stir fry which is just so simple and quick to make. Muttaikose is the Tamil word for cabbage and poriyal is kind of a stir-fry without using a lot of oil to it. You can check out other poriyal recipes like potato poriyal, cauliflower poriyal, etc on the blog.

What is cabbage poriyal?

The cabbage stir fry or the cabbage poriyal recipe is a pretty simple recipe which even the most beginner of cooks can make. It is made with very few ingredients and very less oil added to this poriyal recipe.

Is Cabbage Poriyal recipe healthy?

Yes, without a doubt, this dish is a very healthy option. Since very less oil is used and naturally the cabbage is a very calorie food, this becomes one of the healthy options. The health benefits of cabbage are many. Cabbage offers many vitamins and fiber, with no fat or cholesterol. A wonder food for those on diet.

Variations of the muttaikose poriyal

Another wonderful variation of this cabbage stir fry recipe is making the cabbage with the potatoes / aloo. I simply love the potatoes with the cabbage. A lot of my friends in Chennai used to bring this to school in their tiffin box.

Some people even add mutton to the cabbage or the patta gobi too. Another variation of this similar recipe is the gobi gosht recipe or the patta gobi methi recipe.

This is my take on making one of the many variations of the much-loved cabbage. I use very minimal spices in this recipe and cook on very low heat without adding water.

How is the cabbage poriyal cooked?

The cabbage gets cooked with the steam that gives this dish it’s distinct taste and flavor. There is no need to add water. It gets cooked with very little amount of oil and yet just tastes so amazing.

Pro Tips / Important Points to remember while making this dish

  1. Cook the cabbage poriyal recipe in it’s own steam. Do not add water as the cabbage gets cooked pretty fast. If necessary, just sprinkle little water.
  2. Always cook on low heat. If you cook on high heat, the poriyal will get burnt and undercooked.

    I love cabbage but it is out of season here but I do something very similar but usually use savoy cabbage and add some star anise and a cumin stick… Well it is winter after all (or it is when I cook it anyway) 😉

      😀 Well, I am lucky here, we get the cabbage throughout the year.. and it is one of my favorite vegetable.. I love the look of star anise and mace, they look so pretty but the flavor of mace is too strong for me, I would be add very very minute part of it, if any. And what is cumin stick?? I have never seen one before.

        Ha ha, cumin stick… Cinnamon stick, numpty tiredness taking over 😉

        The food we can buy locally is all seasonal so if it aint in season we can only get it from large supermarkets quite a way away, but I don’t mind too much… I like eating locally grown seasonal stuff, hence the unfeasibly large vegetable garden .

          haha.. I was wondering what could a cumin stick be, as even google didn’t help me out.. Eating seasonal food is the best, taste wise, health wise.. I hope I could grow my own garden some day..

    Like Brian I tend to eat cabbage more in the winter – but we eat so much of it then, I really need to remember to season it more often! This looks delicious.
