- A handful Superb Herb coriander roughly chopped

For the Dressing
- ½ can Chantal Organics Coconut Milk
- ½ tsp black mustard seeds
- ½ tsp turmeric
- a handful curry leaves
- ½ tsp chilli flakes

Fry for a further 2-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Add the coconut milk and gently bring up to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes so the flavours all melt into each other.
