TOMATO, COCONUT & COD CURRY
Directions
- 1Make the paste first by blending all the ingredients in a food processor: garlic, ginger, chillies, lemongrass, and coriander.
- 2In a large saucepan or deep sided frying pan over medium/high heat, add the paste and 4 tbsp of rapeseed oil.
- 3Stir and fry until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes, being careful not to burn.
- 4Take the cod out of the fridge at this time so it's not fridge cold.
- 5Pick the cherry tomatoes and add them to the pan with the 1/2 tin of chopped tomatoes.
- 6Stir through and cook for 3-4 minutes before adding in the coconut milk.
- 7Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 6-8 minutes.
- 8Lower the heat to a bare simmer and add in the cod fillets, making sure they are fully submerged.
- 9Cover the pan and then leave to gently poach for 5 minutes.
- 10Add the pak choi (stem and leaf) on top, with the basil.
- 11Cover and leave to steam for 2 more minutes.
- 12The pak choi should be just cooked and the fish should be opaque throughout and easy to flake when gently pressed.
- 13Take it off the heat and then squeeze over the lime juice.
- 14Serve the curry with rice and a little garlicky yogurt (optional), which is made by mixing 1/2 cup yogurt with 1/2 minced garlic clove.

Tips
- Take the cod out the fridge so it's not fridge cold before cooking.
- Thicker pieces of fish will take longer (probably 8 mins total), while thinner pieces might just need 5 mins, taking into account time to steam the pak choi too.
- Serve with noodles or flatbread as an alternative to rice.
