How to Make Cabbage Salad :
1. In a bowl, mix finely chopped fresh Cabbage, grated Coconut, Lime Juice, Salt and Coriander Leaves.
2. Heat Oil in a pan, add Mustard Seeds. Once the Mustard Seeds splutter, add Urad Dal, Green Chillies or broken Sun Dried Green Chillies and Curry leaves to the frying pan. Fry for just a minute or two until the Urad Dal or White Lentils turn light brown. The seasoning for the Cabbage Salad is now ready.
3. Pour the above seasoning into salad bowl (Step 1) and mix well the entire set of ingredients.Now Cabbage Salad is ready. Serve Cabbage Salad with Chapati/Roti, Talipattu or with non-stuffed Parathas.


Note:
a) Here I used Sun Dried Green Chillies instead of normal green chillies which provides more taste to the Cabbage Salad. If you do not have access to Sun Dried Chillies, Green Chillies should go fine with Cabbage Salad.
b) If one using Sun dried Green Chillies and if you feel they are a little strong in spice, then reduce the amount of Salt and Lemon Juice.
