Place the cabbage on a serving dish, top with the tofu and garnish with the coconut and chilli. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Cook's note: Powdered turmeric is nothing new – you’ve been using its peppery taste in curries for years – but the fresh root is making waves for its extra-punchy flavour. It’s also packed with antioxidants such as curcumin.
