  1. FLUFFY QUINOA

    Rinse the quinoa and place in a pot. Submerge in 200ml of salted water and place over a medium-high heat. Pop on a lid and bring to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and the tails have popped out, adding more water if required during cooking. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Replace the lid and allow it to stand off the heat for at least 5 minutes.

  2. TOASTED COCONUTS

    Place the coconut flakes in a pot, large enough for the curry, over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion.

  3. CURRYLICIOUS BASA

    Pat the basa dry with paper towel and slice into 3cm chunks. In a bowl, add ½ of the curry paste, 20ml of oil and some seasoning. Mix to combine. Add the sliced basa and toss until coated. Set aside to marinate.

  4. SILKY CURRY

    Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 65ml of boiling water. Return the pot to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the remaining curry paste and the grated garlic. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and the diluted stock. Bring up to a boil. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. ALL TOGETHER NOW

    Add the basa and the marinade to the sauce. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until the basa is cooked through and the sauce is thickening. Remove from the heat and season with a sweetener of choice, salt and pepper. Stir through ½ of the chopped coriander. Dress the rinsed green leaves with some olive oil and some seasoning.

  6. WOWZERS!
