Chop
cabbage roughly, discarding centre stalk. Rinse in cold water and shake
dry. Heat oil in a large saucepan or wok and fry shallots and garlic until
soft but not colored. Add cabbage and prawns to the pan and saute for 3
minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir
in turmeric and salt, then pour on thin coconut milk and bring almost to
the boil. Add thick coconut milk, turn down heat and simmer for about 4
minutes. Cabbage should still be slightly crisp.
This
is a very mild curry. Sprinkle on 1-2 tsp chili powder for a slightly
hotter taste. Halved hard-boiled eggs may bee added when curry is almost
done.
