Is purple cabbage and red cabbage are the same ? I was thinking both are different. But after I googled I found some results saying both are same in nutrients, only colors are different. Usually I make
poriyal always with white cabbage. This is the first time I bought purple cabbage and tried a poriyal recipe for rice. When I asked my friends to suggest me some recipes with it, all of them commonly said this cabbage tastes good only for salad. So I reserved half of it for salad and with a big question mark in my mind, I attempted this poriyal recipe with the remaining half.
To my surprise, may be because of the masala I used, it turned out super tasty and we loved it to the core. Sendhil hates cabbage(because of its smell) like anything. But he commented this
cabbage poriyal is much tastier than the usual one. Even Raksha asked for more. Overall this was a hit recipe in my family. Friends, do try this recipe. I am sure you’ll also love it like us.
