Purple cabbage is also known as Red cabbage is a variety of cabbage which is easily available in my nearby farmer's market than the usual green cabbages. You can make ultimate salads with this crunchy cabbage as they works and get mix prefectly to any sort of raw vegetables added to them. Purple cabbage is quite rich in vitamin C, A, potassium and fiber. Somehow i love to dish out our Indian style dals, gravies and stir fries with this cabbage. You can make delicious South Indian style kootu with purple cabbage and everyone at home just love it. Obviously i was lookingt for a chance to cook again with purple cabbage as a Kerala style thoran, and hubby got a purple cabbage head when he went to our favourite farmer's market last week.
And this thoran is a fabulous side dish to relish with hot piping rasam or flavourful sambar rice. With loads of coconut, trust me, everyone at home enjoyed thoroughly this flavoursome rich thoran. Easy to make, this thoran gets ready quickly than you can imagine. A simple grounded paste will take care of the flavouring part of this thoran and i loved the simplicity of this aromatic stir fry. You might have noticed that am running this week's blogging marathon with Colourful dishes as theme, after a greens loaded naan, i couldnt stop myself sharing this delicious stir fry for this theme.

I usually use purple cabbages in salads and coleslaw. Thoran looks very good. Nice one for colorful food.
I have tried purple cabbage like this and would prefer the green one any time, since it has a slight sweet taste... :)
Good one. I rarely get purple cabbage for salads at home and making thoran is definitely interesting.
I have used it in poriyal with lots of coconut. This one with the delicious spice mix must taste so yum.
