[French Tart]

A delicious curry that my parents, who are vegetarian, enjoyed tonight. I served this with white Basmati rice and assorted sambals of coconut, chutney, peanuts and chopped tomato. I did not add the cabbage - I did not have any and I was unsure of adding such a vast amount of cabbage! I did add (in its place) some red lentils and a couple of pieces of quorn. Made for 5 A Day in the Photos Forum. Thanks so much! FT:-)
