1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 onion, finely sliced
½ white cabbage, cored then shredded
50g desiccated coconut
½ x 2g jar dried curry leaves
2 clove/s garlic, crushed
4 cm piece ginger, peeled and coarsely grated
2 tsp garam masala
1 tbsp cumin seeds
100g pack coriander, leaves roughly chopped
Chicken curry of your choice (such as 460g pack No.1 Butter Chicken Masala), to serve
natural yogurt, to serve (optional)
Rice and/or naan, and natural yogurt to serve (optional)

Heat the oil in a large wok or sauté pan over a high heat. Once hot, add the onion and cabbage and stir fry for 4-5 minutes until softening and blackened in places.
Add the coconut, curry leaves, garlic, ginger, garam masala and cumin seeds, pour in 100ml water and stir fry for 4-5 minutes more, adding a splash more water if it starts to catch.
Once the cabbage is soft and has a good colour, season to taste and stir through the coriander (it may seem like a large amount, but it’s used more like a vegetable than a herb here). Serve with rice and/or naan, with natural yogurt on the side, if liked.

Cook’s tip

Add satisfying nuggets of cubed paneer, seared in a hot pan with a little oil until golden. You could always add a cheeky sprinkling of Cooks’ Ingredients Crispy Fried Onions before serving, too.
