When the urad dal turns brown, add the chopped cabbage.
Cover with a lid and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes
Take the lid off, add the freshly grated coconut and fry for about a couple of minutes.

Note: Cooking Cabbage directly in a pan retains the flavour and texture than cooking in a microwave oven
Although five cups of raw cabbage is being cooked, it generally reduces to about four cups of cooked cabbage
