Red Cabbage Thoran
Cabbage thoran is a dry dish,which is made of cabbage and grated coconut. It is an important ingredient of the kerala "sadhya"(feast). I have made this thoran many times, but first time with red cabbage.
This is a common vegetable which is generally found in the market. This time I thought of trying this and bought one. On cooking, red cabbage will normally turn blue. To retain the red colour, you should add vinegar or acidic fruit. Without knowing that, I prepared this thoran, but after some reading I came to know about the trick of adding vinegar.
