A fresh, colourful slaw is the perfect side to spicy curry, and this Indian-inspired version is a great twist on a classic coleslaw.

Method

In a large bowl, mix the carrots, cabbage and onion.
In a jug, combine the yogurt, lime juice, chilli and cumin; season. Pour over the veg and mix to coat.
Stir in half the coriander and half the cashews, then top with the remainder to serve.

Tip: To toast spices, dry-fry in a frying pan over a low heat, stirring, until just fragrant, then remove from the pan.
Get ahead: Prepare the veg and dressing for the slaw up to 4 hrs in advance. Mix in the dressing, coriander and cashews before serving
