  Great way to eat cabbage without that "boiled and boring" or "steamed and squeaky" factor.

  Fantastic! Even those who claim to hate greens loved it and came back for more. Went really well with spice rubbed lamb chops, chicken marinated in yoghurt and pillau rice.

  This was very tasty. I tried it the first time with the Kale and peas served with chicken thighs cooked in a think Indian yogurt sauce. It was delicious and me and my boyfriend ate the whole pack of Kale with the meal. Kale has never tasted so interesting. I recently made the recipe with some swiss chard I had left over, which can be quite bitter. But it went so well with this recipe and the sweet coconut was excellent against the bitter leaves. Top recipe for making greens more interesting.

  Very tasty - made with brussels sprouts and served with a Turkey vindaloo (a novel way to use up Christmas leftover ingredients!). On reflection I should have taken the seeds out of the chillies as it was slightly too hot for us. Will definitely make this again with kale or other greens.

  This drew together several random ingredients to make a tasty meal - I had leftover pork and half a green cabbage from a sunday roast, and a packet of flour tortillas leftover from enchiladas. My husband and I followed this recipe, added chopped prok, and then put this mixture into the tortillas along with a bit of creme fraiche and mango chutney - it was very nice!

  Made this as per recipe with shredded savoy cabbage and was pleasantly surprised. But I did think it could do with a little extra, so I added a little ground cumin and fenugreek, along with roughly chopped hard boiled eggs and stirred in some natural yogurt for a creamy texture. Now that was good!

  Used kale, cabbage and peas but substituted coconut milk for the desiccated coconut. Delicious.

  What a great way to get your greens! Really flavoursome. Used two types of cabbage - spring greens and January King plus sliced sugar snap peas. Only used half the coconut. Will definitely be making this again.

  I've made this twice now, once with turnip greens and once with spinach - delicious both times. Tonight I'm omitting the chilli and I'm going to try it blended into a dip for dip-loving greenophobe children.

  Very tasty though too hot for my companion because I used 2 very hot chillies. Ooops. I'll make it again with less heat. A good recipe because of the different combinations of greens you can use. I served it with the GF chicken biriyani. Both tasty and easy to make.

  I found this a little acidic with the juice of a whole lemon, and found the cocanut got lost in it, I would use juice of half a lemon and add 2 table spoons of coconut milk instead. Stll enjoyed it as it went well with the spiced root vegetable stew, which was sweet and flavoursome.

  Brilliant, I hate my greens but this made them delicious. I used brussel sprouts, bok choi and spring onions and left out the peas. Will definitely make this again.

  I love this recipe. Have used savoy cabbage and spring and winter greens. I don't tend to include they peas and used cumin powder at first as didn't have the seeds, but it tasted fantastic.
