Purple Cabbage Thoran/Kerala Style Red Cabbage Stir Fry

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.

Beetroot Thoran/Kerala Style Beetroot Stir Fry

Kerala style of stir fries are well known for their simplicity and obviously for the flavors. They are just loaded with grated coconut which asks for a grounded mixture along with shallots, cumin seeds and green chillies/chilly powder. I have already prepared beetroot thoran couple of times but as usual i have completely forgotten to click some pictures and post in my space. While i cooked some beetroot thoran few weeks back, i clicked few pictures to save them here. As am running this week's blogging marathon with Anti inflammatory foods as theme, this stir fry sounds quite prefect to post under this theme. Beetroots are excellent anti inflammatory vegetables. Beets are a unique source of betaine, a nutrient which helps to protects cells, proteins and enzymes from the stress.Its known to helps improve vascular risk factors, protect internal organs and to fight inflammation.
