Cabbage Egg Podimas(Muttai kosa Muttai poriyal)

This cabbage Egg poriyal is very easy to cook and one of the tasty dish. It’s a simple and easy combination dish. This is healthy too. Cabbage provides high levels of iron and Sulphur, minerals that work in part as cleansing agents for the digestive system. Here is one way of cooking this veggie. Both cabbage and eggs blended well with this recipe. But after tasting this combined egg cabbage fry in one of my relative house, this vegetable has become a regular item in our home. This fry will go very well with rasam as well as sambar rice. Those who are crazy of eggs like my son will love it. In this kind of preparation the smell of the veg will never be noticed.
