Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with baking parchment
  • Boil a half-full kettle
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a small bowl & a measuring jug

Roast the carrots

  • Trim the carrots (halve any large ones)
  • Place the carrot onto the lined baking tray and toss with 2 tsp oil, half the curry powder and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Roast for 18-20 mins, until soft and golden

Pickle & prep

  • Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice the radishes, then add to the small bowl with the juice from half the lime and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat, then set aside to pickle
  • Finely slice the onions. Pick any woody stalks from the cavolo nero. Dissolve the creamed coconut with 200ml boiling water in the jug

Simmer the chickpeas

  • Heat the large frying pan on medium heat with 1 tbsp oil. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 3-4 mins, until softening
  • Add the cavolo nero and cook for another 2-3 mins, until golden. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the ginger & garlic paste, korma paste and remaining curry powder. Cook for 1 min, then stir in the chickpeas (with their stock), the coconut mixture and half the coconut yoghurt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 4-5 mins, until thickened

Finishing touches

  • When the carrot has a few mins remaining, drizzle over the honey and toss to coat. Roast for the remaining time
  • When ready, roughly chop the coriander and stir into the chickpeas. Stir in the radish pickling liquid. Season to taste

Plate up

  • Serve the chickpeas into bowls, topped with the pickled radish and roasted carrot. Garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges. Finish with a dollop of the remaining coconut yoghurt
