½ cabbage 

3 carrots 

1 red onion, sliced

5 cloves garlic, crushed

1 inch ginger, grated

Chop carrots into large batons and rinse. Slice cabbage into 2x6 cm strips.

Fry onions on high heat until fragrant, then add garlic and ginger. After a couple of minutes add turmeric, ground coriander seeds and black pepper.

Once caramelised add half a cup of water followed by carrots. Let carrots cook for roughly 5 minutes before adding cabbage.
