Method
1. Prepare the vegetables
Shred the cabbage, grate/slice the carrots and slice the onion. Chop the garlic.
2. Brown the mince
Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the mince and break it up well. Cook until browned and cooked through. If the mince releases a lot of fat, drain some off.
3. Add onion and garlic
Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
4. Add curry powder
Stir in 1½–2 tbsp curry powder and cook for about 30 seconds to release the flavour.
5. Add vegetables
Add the cabbage and carrots. Stir-fry everything together for approximately 8–10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the vegetables soften but still have some texture.
