Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. 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.
  2. Boil a half-full kettle. Dice the onion into 2cm chunks. Heat a large frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 5-6 mins, until softened. Dissolve the stock cube and creamed coconut in a jug with 400ml boiling water.
  3. Add the ginger and garlic paste and Keralan spice to the frying pan, cook for 1 min, then add the sun-dried tomato paste, and stock mixture. Simmer for 5 mins.
  4. Dice the cod into 2-3cm cubes. Quarter the tomatoes. Trim and halve the green beans. Stir the cod, green beans and tomatoes into the sauce. Bring to a boil then simmer for 4-6 mins, until the sauce has thickened and the fish is cooked. Season with sea salt to taste.
  5. Make the pickled cucumber; peel the cucumber into ribbons and place in a bowl. Mix with the vinegar, desiccated coconut, 1/2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
  6. Serve the curry in bowls alongside the rice and pickled cucumber.
