Cabbage thoran without coconut

Just one of those days when the palette craves something fresh and veggie, with a bit of sweetness that's spicy as well, I'd opt to have cabbage thoran. This leafy delight, apart from being easily available, requires very less cooking

What I used

1. Finely chopped small or medium-sized cabbage 
2. Chopped onion: 1 big 
3. Green chili: 1-2 based on how spicy you want
4. Salt: according to need
5. Mustard seeds: 1/2 teaspoon
6. Oil: 2-3 tablespoons
7. Curry leaves (optional)

How I made it

1. In a frying pan, heat the oil on medium flame 
2. Splutter the mustard seeds and saute the onion and green chilies
3. If using curry leaves, I prefer to add it at this stage so as to not fry the leaves to crisp and retain the freshness of the leaves
4. Add the required amount of salt to the sauteed onion
5. Finally add the chopped cabbage and mix well ensuring the whole content is smeared with the cooking oil so as to enable even cooking
6. Keep the pan covered for about 10 min and occasionally mix contents till fully cooked
