  1. TURMERIC SAUCE

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the turmeric mix until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the coconut cream and simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in ¾ of the coriander. Season and remove from the pan.

  2. PREP THE POPS & SALSA

    In a bowl, add the Chickpeas and mash with a potato masher or fork until a rustic mash. Add the flour, ½ the tikka curry paste, ¼ of the onion, ¼ of the cabbage, 2 [4]|#7DA0D7 tbsp of water, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Roll into 10 pops per serving. In a small bowl, combine the paw paw, ¼ of the remaining onion, the peppers, the lemon juice (to taste), and seasoning.

  3. FRY THE POPS

    Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. Fry the chickpea pops until crispy and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel.

  4. FRY THE Cabbage

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the remaining Onions, Cabbage, and tikka curry paste until slightly wilted but still crunchy, 1-2 minutes. Season.

  5. TOAST THE Rotis

    Place a clean pan over medium heat. When hot, toast each roti until warmed through, 30-60 seconds per side. Alternatively, spread them out on a plate in a single layer and heat up in the microwave, 30-60 seconds.

  6. TIME TO EAT

    Load each roti with the curried Cabbage, the pops, and the paw paw salsa, and drizzle over the turmeric sauce. Wrap them up and enjoy, Chef!
