  1. JUST BE RICE

    Place the rinsed rice in a pot. Submerge in 150ml of salted water, pop on a lid, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and steam with the lid on for a further 10 minutes until cooked and tender. On completion, drain if necessary, fluff up with a fork and return to the pot to stay warm until serving.

  2. LET’S PREP SOME STUFF!

    Boil the kettle. Place the cashews in a deep pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and roughly chop. In a shallow bowl, combine ⅓ of the curry paste with 1 tsp of oil and seasoning. Add the Aubergine chunks, gently coat with the paste and set aside to marinate until frying. Dilute the stock with 65ml of boiling water.

  3. THE QUEEN’S CURRINATION

    Return the deep pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the marinated Aubergine for 4-6 minutes until slightly softened. Add the remaining curry paste (to taste) and fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the coconut milk and diluted stock, and stir until well incorporated. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.

  4. GREENS, GREENS & MORE GREENS!

    When the curry has thickened, add the peas and chopped pickled peppers, and mix through for 2-3 minutes until the veggies are warmed through. On completion, season to taste with a sweetener of choice and some salt. Remove from the heat.

  5. HURRY HURRY, IT’S AN AMAZING GREEN CURRY!
