Ingredients
- 2 tbsp rapeseed oil, plus a drop
- 1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
- 1 red chilli, halved, deseeded and thinly sliced
- 2 carrots (160g), cut into matchsticks
- 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 tsp mustard seeds (yellow or black)
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 tsp Madras curry powder
- 250g pointed or Savoy cabbage, shredded
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1 lime, halved
- 15g fresh coriander, chopped
Method
- STEP 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick pan or wok and stir-fry the ginger and chilli for 1-2 mins to soften. Stir in the carrots and onion, then leave for 10 mins, stirring every now and then until the onion is golden.
- STEP 2
Add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds and curry powder and stir to toast the spices. Tip in the cabbage and stir for 5 mins until starting to soften. Add the tomatoes and stir for 1-2 mins more until softened and the cabbage is tender. If the cabbage is still too firm add a dash of water and put the lid on the pan.
- STEP 3
Meanwhile fry the eggs in a drop of oil in a small non-stick pan until crisp at the edges, but the yolks are still runny. Squeeze about 1 tbsp lime juice over the cabbage mix and toss together along with the coriander. Divide between two plates, top with an egg each and serve with the remaining halved lime for squeezing over.
