Method
step 1
Slice the cabbages lengthwise into quarter wedges. Rub with the vegetable oil and season. Grill each side on a hot barbecue for a few minutes until charred and cooked through. Transfer to a large plate and cover to keep warm.
step 2
Heat the coconut oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the mustard seeds for 1-2 mins until they start to pop, then add the curry leaves, chillies and garlic. When the curry leaves start to sizzle and turn translucent, add the shallots and fry for 6-8 mins or until golden.
step 3
Add the tomatoes, turmeric and ¼ tsp of sea salt, and simmer for a few minutes until the tomatoes break down. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tbsp of water to make a sauce. Spoon the sauce over the cabbages, sprinkle over the lime juice and top with coriander leaves to serve.
