  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 chopped coriander. Season and remove from the pan.

  2. CHICKPEA POPS

    In a bowl, add the drained chickpeas and mash with a potato masher or fork until a rustic mash. Add the flour, ½ the NOMU rub, ¼ of the diced onion, ¼ of the sliced cabbage, 2 tbsp of water, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Roll into 10 pops per serving. In a small bowl, combine the pineapple pieces, ¼ of the remaining onion, the diced peppers, the lemon juice (to taste), and seasoning.

  3. FRY UNTIL CRISPY

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

  4. CURRIED CABBAGE

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the remaining onions, the remaining cabbage, and the remaining NOMU rub until slightly wilted but still crunchy, 1-2 minutes. Season.

  5. READY 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. WOW, WHAT A FEAST

    Load each roti with the curried cabbage, the pops, and the pineapple salsa, and drizzle over the turmeric sauce. Garnish with the remaining coriander. Wrap them up and enjoy, Chef!
