Method
Get ready by removing the outer leaves of the cabbage and shredding it thinly. Rinse the cabbage and green peas. Slit the green chillies, grate the coconut, rinse and pluck the curry leaves, then rinse and finely chop the coriander leaves.
Heat oil in a kadai on medium flame for 1 minute until hot. Add mustard seeds and fry for about 1 minute until they splutter. Add urad dal, curry leaves and green chilli, and fry for 1 minute until the dal turns light golden.
Add the cabbage, green peas, turmeric powder and salt. Mix well and fry for 2 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften.
Add water and mix. Cover and cook on low flame for 8 to 10 minutes until the cabbage is cooked but still has a little bite and the peas are soft. Open the lid once or twice and stir so the vegetables cook evenly.
Cook uncovered on medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes until the extra water dries up. Add the grated coconut and coriander leaves, mix for 1 minute and switch off when the palya is dry.
