FLUFFY RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
ACE THE BASE
Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced onion and the carrot chunks. Fry until slightly softened, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the curry paste (to taste), the grated garlic and the grated ginger. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly).
SIMMER YOUR DINNER
When the garlic is fragrant, add the coconut cream, and 100ml of water to the pot. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 8-10 minutes (stirring occasionally). In the final 5 minutes, add the sliced green beans and the drained lentils.
CRUNCHY COCO
While the curry is simmering, place the coconut flakes in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove and set aside.
FINISHING FLAVOURS
When the curry is done, remove from the heat and mix through ½ the picked basil, the lime juice (to taste), a sweetener and seasoning.
KEEP CALM & CURRY ON
