BRIGHT WHITE RICE
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 150ml of salted water, pop on a lid, and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork. Return to the pot, cover with the lid, and set aside until serving.
GOLDEN NUTS
Boil the kettle. Place a pot for the curry over a medium heat. When hot, toast the cashews for 3-5 minutes until light brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pot on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle. Dilute the stock with 65ml of boiling water and set aside.

Return the pot to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the cauliflower pieces for 2-3 minutes until lightly charred. Add a splash of water to cover the base of the pan and steam for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened but still crunchy. On completion, transfer to a salad bowl and season. Wipe down the pot if necessary and return it to the heat with another drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion and green beans for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned, but not cooked through. On completion, add to the bowl of cauliflower.
CURRY TIME
Return the pot to a medium heat with another drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated ginger and the curry paste to taste for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Gradually whisk in the coconut cream and then the diluted stock. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow to reduce for 8-10 minutes until a thick, curry-like consistency.
FINISH UP
When the sauce has thickened, season to taste with salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice. If you’d like to increase the spice levels, mix in any remaining curry paste. Stir through the cauliflower, onion, and green beans. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until cooked through and flavourful. Remove from the heat on completion. If the sauce is too thick, loosen by gradually mixing in warm water.
