Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
- Boil a half-full kettle. Dice the onion into 2cm chunks. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Dissolve the stock cube and creamed coconut in a jug with 250ml boiling water (125ml for 1 person).
- Trim and halve the green beans. Add the ginger and garlic paste and Keralan spice to the frying pan. Cook for 1 min, then add the sundried tomato paste, stock mixture and green beans. Simmer for 3 mins.
- Dice the cod into 2-3cm cubes. Quarter the tomatoes. Stir the cod and tomatoes into the sauce. Bring to a boil then simmer for 3-5 mins, until the sauce thickens and the fish is cooked through. Season with sea salt to taste.
- Make the pickled cucumber; peel the cucumber into ribbons and place in a bowl. Mix with the vinegar, desiccated coconut, 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
- Serve the curry in bowls alongside the rice and pickled cucumber.
