FLUFFY RICE
Boil the kettle. Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 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.
MARINATION
Mix the juice of 2 lemon wedges, a drizzle of oil and ½ of the balti curry paste in a large bowl with a pinch of salt. Add the hake pieces and carefully toss in the marinade. Cover and chill. Dilute the stock with 100ml of boiling water. In a salad bowl, place the grated carrots with ½ of the rinsed Spinach, a pinch of lemon zest, seasoning and a squeeze of lemon juice.
TOASTY NUTS
Place the cashews in a pot, large enough for the curry, over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
CURRY ON THE GO
Return the pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced Onions and diced carrots for 4-5 minutes until the onions are soft. Add ¾ of the sliced chilli, remaining balti curry paste and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the cooked chopped tomato and cook for 4-5 minutes stirring occasionally. Stir through the coconut cream and diluted stock. Reduce the heat and simmer for 6-7 minutes until thickened slightly. Season and add a sweetener of choice.
POACHED HAKE
Submerge the hake pieces into the sauce along with all the marinade. Gently poach for 4-5 minutes until the Fish is cooked and starting to flake. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the remaining Spinach and cook until it wilts.
YUMMY
