Coconut Cabbage Curry

cabbage recipes

Hello folks. I am back with a side-dish recipe today. It is another recipe of how I make cabbage. Actually, I came up with this recipe after I tasted a similar cabbage dish in a restaurant. I tried to recognize as many ingredients as possible. It also had a prominent taste of coconut milk. I like the flavor of coconut milk and it paired up really well with cabbage and all the spices.

The flavors are really fresh. It goes well with roti, parathas and even dosas. This recipe serves 4. Let us see how to make this tangy, spicy and coconutty cabbage curry.
