Cabbage Thoran

Traditionally coconut oil is used in GSB kitchens. Later due to health concerns, it was curbed to bare minimum usage. Once scorned for saturated fat issues, now coconut oil is making an impressive comeback. Personally speaking, I use several different oils in my daily cooking and I use oil sparingly anyways.

Today's dish is Kerala style cabbage stir fry - using coconut oil.
