Combine the yogurt, milk, chicken stock, coconut extract, cornstarch, and chili powder in a small bowl. Stir until smooth with a wire whisk and set aside.

Heat the oil in a large skillet and cook the garlic, about 1 minutes.

Remove and discard the garlic.Add the lemon grass, lime leaves, chicken, and stir-fry until the chicken turns white and loses its raw look. Ad the yogurt mixture and stir-fry until the chicken turns completely white and the sauce has cooked down into a coating, not floating cream.

Stir in the sugar, mint leaves, and fish sauce. Add the cayenne. Pour in the lime juice, to taste. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Cook the cabbage slices and mushrooms in a hot skillet with just enough stock or water to create a little stream. Toss until heated through, about 2 minutes.

To serve: Lay the cabbage on warm dinner plates and spoon the sauced chicken on top. Serve with a small bowl of steaming short-grain white rice on the side.
