Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 large onion peeled and diced, about 250g
  • ¾ teaspoon fennel seeds
  • ¾ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ¾ teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
  • ¾ teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • ¾ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ red chilli sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 inch ginger peeled and grated
  • 1 teaspoon mango chutney or any other chutney you have hanging around
  • 200 g tomatoes quartered, about 4
  • 50 g roasted unsalted peanuts , roughly chopped
  • 275 g leftover turkey
  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 160 g kale I used cavolo nero
  • salt and pepper to taste

Cucumber and Coriander Raita

  • 100 g cucumber
  • 200 ml natural yoghurt – the best you can find
  • Handful of coriander leaves finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • teaspoon caster sugar
  • teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Heat a large flat bottomed pan with the coconut oil then add the diced onions. Fry on a very low heat for about 30 – 40 minutes until the onions have caramelised.
  • Pour the fennel, cumin, mustard and coriander seeds into a small frying pan over a low heat for one minute, keeping a close eye so they don’t burn. Tip them into a pestle and mortar and pound until they have completely crushed.
  • Add the toasted spices into the caramelised onion along with the curry powder, turmeric, chilli, garlic, ginger and mango chutney. Stir in then add the tomatoes.
  • Cook on a gentle heat for about 15 minutes until the tomatoes have reduced to a pulp.
  • Add the peanuts, turkey and coconut milk then simmer on a low heat for a further 15 minutes until the curry has thickened.
  • Meanwhile prepare the kale by removing the stems of the kale and discard, then slice the kale leaves finely. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil then blanch the kale for a 3 minutes. Drain and squeeze the kale to remove the excess water.
  • Stir the kale into the curry then remove from the heat and serve with the cucumber and coriander raita.

Cucumber and Coriander Raita

  • Cut the cucumber in half and remove and discard the seeds by scooping out with a teaspoon. Then grate the cucumber into a medium sized bowl.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined and the sugar and salt has dissolved into the yoghurt.
  • Leave to chill in the fridge until needed.
