Cabbage Green Plantain Poriyal – Poriyal is one of the most common ways to make Indian stir fry vegetables. This makes an easy side dish for any meal.
Poriyal is the most common way of vegetable preparation in South Indian when you need something quick and easy. It is characterized by a quick stir fry of vegetables with coconut and a few spices. Poriyal can be made with any combination of vegetables.
Since I had both some extra cabbage and plantains lying around, this is a great way to utilize them.
Check out some of my other poriyals and Indian side dish vegetable preparations.
