Cabbage Kura is pretty much the same as Muttaikose Poriyal/Thoran of Tamil Nadu and Kerala with the exception that we do not use coconut in Andhra Pradesh. I absolutely love this light Cabbage Sabzi with some Pappu Pulusu and Annam (Andhra Sambar and Rice) or the Tomato Pappu and Annam (Andhra Style Tomato Dal and Rice).
For some reason, I have not posted the recipe for this super simple Andhra Cabbage Kura earlier. Don’t ask me why because I have posted the Cabbage Thoran | Muttaikose Poriyal recipe as far back as 2012. Anyway, as they say, better late than never and here I am with this recipe.
Paired with rotis/rice and Moong Dal Palak, this cabbage curry makes for a healthy, low calorie meal.
Also try my recipes for Cabbage Senaga Pappu Kura (Cabbage and Chana Dal Curry) and Cabbage Ava Pettina Kura (Andhra Style Cabbage Curry flavoured with a Mustard Paste).
