Ingredients:
2 tsp ground turmeric
2 red chilies, seeded
4 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
2 inches (5cm) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tbsp sunflower oil
8 shallots, very finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
14 oz. (400 ml) can coconut milk
1/3 cup hot vegetable stock for the slow cooker (1/2 cup for the traditional method)
Juice of 1 - 2 limes
1 tbsp demerara sugar (optional)
5 1/2 oz. (150g) vermicelli noodles, soaked in water and drained
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
Bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
Preparation:
In the slow cooker:
- Preheat the slow cooker, if required. Put the turmeric, chilies, garlic, and ginger in a food processor, blend with half the oil to make a paste, and set aside. Alternatively, grind the ingredients with a pestle and mortar.
- Heat the remaining oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, add the shallots, and cook for 3 – 4 minutes until soft. Season with salt and pepper, then add the paste and cook, stirring occasionally, for a few more minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and stock, and bring to a boil. Transfer everything to the slow cooker, cover with the lid, and cook on high for 3 – 4 hours.
- Stir in the lime juice, to taste, and adjust the flavor with a little sugar and seasoning if needed. Stir in the noodles, mango, and cilantro.
