Indian Spiced Greens

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp cumin seed
  • 1/2 tsp mustard seed
  • 4 green chillies finely chopped
  • large piece of ginger grated
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 500g shredded greens such as kale, brussels sprouts, or any other
  • 100g pea
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • small bunch of fresh coriander roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened desiccated coconut

Method

  1. Warm the oil in a large non-stick pan or wok. Let the cumin and mustard seeds sizzle for 1 min before introducing the chopped chilli, grated ginger, and turmeric. Cook until fragrant, then mix in the shredded greens, a pinch of salt, a splash of water, and the peas.
  2. Place a lid on the pan and allow the greens to cook for 4-5 mins until they have softened. Stir through the lemon juice, ground coriander, half of the fresh coriander, and half of the desiccated coconut. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and top with the remaining coconut and fresh coriander.
