Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
Line a baking tray with baking parchment
Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
Pull out a medium bowl, a small bowl & a sieve

Get started

Combine the turmeric and half the ginger and garlic paste with 1 tbsp oil in the medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the barramundi, gently toss to coat, then set aside to marinate
Add the rice to the saucepan and simmer for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain

Roast the veg & fish

In the small bowl, combine the tamarind, tamari, honey and the remaining ginger and garlic paste. Set aside
Dice the aubergine and courgette into 2cm chunks. Add both to the lined baked tray. Toss with 2 tsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the barramundi alongside the veg
Roast all for 18-20 mins, until the veg has softened and the fish is cooked through

Finish the prep

Cut the spring onion into 3cm pieces, then thinly slice lengthways. Quarter the lime
When the veg has 5 mins remaining, spoon over a third of the tamarind sauce. Toss to coat, then return to the oven for the remaining time

Serve up

When everything's ready, share the rice and veg between plates. Top with the fish. Drizzle over the remaining sauce
Scatter over the spring onion and cashews to finish. Serve with the lime wedges for squeezing over
