Ingredients · Servings 4
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp black mustard seeds
  • 4 cardamom pods bashed
  • 700g marrow or courgettes, cut into chunky 2cm pieces on an angle

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and toast the cumin and mustard seeds and cardamom pods until they start to pop. Scatter in the marrow pieces and shake the pan so they’re in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 mins over a medium-high heat, stirring every few minutes until golden and darkened.
  2. Stir in the garlic, chilli and coconut, and cook for 2-3 mins more before stirring in the curry leaves. Season well with salt. Squeeze over half of the lime juice and toss well. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve with the lime wedges for squeezing over.
