Coconut is a staple in many Keralan dishes, such as this stir-fried vegie curry. The slight bitterness of the sprouts works really nicely with the sweet spiciness of the dish.

Method

  • 1.
    Toss the sprouts and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and set aside.
  • 2.
    Heat the oil in a large, deep-sided frypan with a lid over medium heat. Add cumin and mustard seeds, and cook, tossing, for 1-2 minutes or until seeds start to pop.
  • 3.
    Add onion and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until softened. Add green chilli, coriander stalks, garlic, ginger and turmeric, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until sweet and sticky (add 1-2 tbs water if the mixture starts to look dry).
  • 4.
    Throw in the salted sprouts, stir well and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until sprouts are softened.
  • 5.
    Remove the lid and stir through cherry tomato and grated coconut. Season, and cook for 3 minutes or until the tomato is heated through.
  • 6.
    Scatter with toasted coconut, coriander leaves, extra green chilli and red chilli. Serve with lime wedges.
