Step 1

Soak chickpeas overnight. Drain, then place in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to the

boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 45 minutes or until chickpeas are tender but still retain

their shape. Drain. Meanwhile, soak tamarind in 80 ml boiling water and set aside.

Heat 1¼ tbsp oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add daikon and cook for 2 minutes each side

or until edges begin to brown. Add to chickpeas and set aside.

Step 2

Heat remaining 1¼ tbsp oil in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat, add onion and cook,

stirring, for 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Add turmeric, chilli and ground coriander, and cook

for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add ginger-garlic paste and tomato, and cook, stirring occasionally, for

1 minute or until well combined. Strain tamarind through a fine sieve, pressing to extract as much

liquid as possible, and discard solids.

Step 3

Add tamarind liquid, bring to the boil and cook for 2 minutes.

Using a mortar and pestle, grind coconut and poppy seeds to a fine paste. Stir into curry, add chickpeas

and radish, and season with salt and pepper; curry should have a gravy-like consistency, add extra

water if necessary. Return to the boil and cook for 4 minutes or until radish is tender and sauce is

thickened. Serve scattered with coriander leaves.

coriander seedlings are sold at most garden centres. Aim to buy the smallest healthy seedlings, rather than big ones (which might be pot-bound). Often coriander is sold with many plants crammed into one pot. For best results, try to separate the seedlings out into individual plants, and plant these spaced 20cm apart.

keep the soil lightly moist (in the cooler months, this probably means watering potted herbs about twice a week if it doesn’t rain). Fertilise monthly with a liquid or soluble plant food,

if you want to grow coriander for the seed, to use as a

spice in cooking, it’s quite easy to harvest and dry the seed.

Wait until the coriander plant flowers (with coriander grown

at this time of year, this might not happen until spring) then

after the flowers fade the seed clusters will form. As the plants

finally start to die down in spring, snip off all the seed clusters and

put them in a paper bag. Hang the bag up somewhere dry (eg, in a

garden shed, or the pantry) and the seeds should be dry in a few weeks.

That’s it. So easy. To use the coriander seed in the kitchen, each time you

need to crush some to make coriander powder, measure out the amount

of seeds needed (roughly), warm up a dry teflon frypan, toss in the seed

and shake about for a minute or so until you can smell the aroma coming

off. Now, immediately toss the seeds into a spice grinder (eg, coffee

grinder or a mortar and pestle) and grind the seeds to a powder.

coriander likes a sunny spot, well-drained soil and a steady supply of both water and fertiliser. It grows equally well in pots or in garden beds. If using pots, use top quality potting mix and sit the pots up on pot feet, so water drains away after each watering

During summer, coriander plants change rapidly from leafy to seedy

(this is called ‘bolting to seed’) and it’s almost impossible to have a crop

on hand for use in the kitchen in the hot months. During autumn, winter

and spring, however, coriander stays nicely leafy for a number of months.

Step 1

Make coriander chilli marinade: Chop coriander leaves and roots (see note). Combine chopped coriander, lime rind, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, chilies, paprika, yogurt and salt and pepper in a ceramic dish.

Step 2

Add chicken to marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or overnight, if time permits.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 200°C. Remove chicken from marinade. Place, in a single layer, in a lightly-greased roasting pan. Roast chicken for 20 to 30 minutes or until just cooked through.

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add bok choy and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add rice and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until heated through. Spoon rice onto plates. Top with chicken. Serve with lime wedges.
