Cabbage Thoran

I first came across this dish in Kerala but I was interested to find it is also a much-loved dish in Bengal.

Serves 4-6

1 tbsp coconut oil 1 tsp mustard seeds A pinch of freshly ground cumin (jeera) A pinch of turmeric powder 15 curry leaves, fresh or frozen 2 dry red chillies 200g (7ozs) grated fresh coconut 1 cabbage, washed and finely chopped/diced
