Onion and Coconut Flatbreads

Serves 4

1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
200ml water
400g strong flour, plus extra for dusting
2 tsp fine sea salt
50ml coconut oil (or coconut cream)
Vegetable oil, for frying

Chicken Curry with Mango

Serves 4

Despite its pale colour, this curry has quite a kick, so adjust the amount of chilli powder if you prefer your curries mild. Chilli powders can vary in intensity depending on the brand, so do taste a little first to decide how much to add.

For the spice paste

1 large onion, peeled and roughly chopped

4 long red chillies, trimmed, seeded and chopped
2 tsp fennel seeds
2-3 tsp mild chilli powder
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
3 tbsp vegetable oil
