Add the shredded coconut and give it a mix and switch off the flame.Serve this simple fry with any main course of your choice.

 

 

Notes:

• I added desiccated coconut as fresh coconut is finished that time.I love the flavour of fresh coconut than this store bought packs.
• I love the crunchy taste of cabbage so i don’t overcook it till soft. If you like it soft then go on cook for few more mins .
• I like the white colour of cabbage so I didn’t add turmeric If you like you can add a 1/4 tsp.
