Cabbage coconut curry

Cabbage coconut curry recipe

High in the hills in India on our tiger trek we had all manner of yummy food - including a cabbage / coconut side. This tastes pretty close and makes a good change from steamed cabbage in the winter.

Recipe ingredients:

• 1 cabbage, chopped
• 100 g. coconut, grated
• 1 green chili, chopped
• 2 spring onions, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
• Red chilies
• 1-2 sprigs of curry leaves
• 1 tablespoon oil

Recipe method:

• Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, red chili, curry leaves and fry for 2 minutes.
• Grind the coconut, green chili and spring onions to a paste and add to the above. Fry for 2 more minutes.
• Add the cabbage and cook for 10 minutes or until the cabbage is cooked.
• Garnish with chopped coriander and serve with plain rice or chapathi.
