Cooking Steps
1
- Halve the lemongrass lengthways.
- Add 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) to a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and half the lemongrass. Bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid. Leave to cook for 10 mins.
- Remove from the heat and leave aside for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (keep covered so the rice can continue to cook in its own steam).
2
- Meanwhile, trim the courgette and halve lengthways. Slice widthways into 1cm half-moons.
- Trim the scallion and thinly slice. Separate the green and white portions.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Zest then quarter the lime.
3
- Trim the carrot then cut diagonally into thin slices (no need to peel).
- Roughly chop the mushrooms.
4
- Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the white portion of the scallion, garlic, carrots, courgette and mushrooms. Fry for 2-3 mins.
- Add the korma paste and remaining lemongrass along with the coconut milk.
- Reduce the heat and simmer until the veg is tender, 8-10 mins.
TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if necessary.
5
- When everything is cooked, remove the lemongrass stalks from the curry and the rice.
- Squeeze the juice of half the lime into the curry.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Fluff up the rice with a fork and stir through the lime zest.
6
- Divide the fragrant rice between plates and top with the creamy courgette curry.
- Sprinkle with sliced green scallion and cashews.
- Serve any remaining lime wedges alongside.
