Cabbage Vepudu/Poriyal

A simple yet crunchy Cabbage stir fry. Cabbage is most underrated vegetable, if cooked properly with correct spices it is amazingly tasty. i have given my own twist to the masala that I added. You actually can store the masala powder and add it to other vegetables. Happy Cooking...

Tips:
Dont overcook cabbage as it will turn mushy. 
If you wish you can cook it covered but not more than 2 minutes as cabbage cooks really fast.
