Heat the oil in a pan, splutter the mustard seeds, then add the urad dal; let it brown slightly. Now add the green chillies and fry them slightly. Add the Cabbage, salt and turmeric powder and stir well to mix all th ingredients. Cook on high flame for 3-5 minutes uncovered. Remove the dish before the water starts coming out of the Cabbage. The Cabbage should be firm not soggy. Because it is finally grated the cooking time is short.
