Instructions
- Pour 300ml cold salted water (per 2P) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and 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 keep covered for 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
- Meanwhile, trim the courgette and halve lengthways. Slice widthways into 1cm thick semicircles.
- Trim the scallion and thinly slice, keeping the green and white portions separate.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Zest and quarter the lime.
- Trim the carrot then cut widthways at an angle into thin slices (no need to peel).
- Roughly chop the mushrooms.
- Stir the coconut milk (or shake the packet) to dissolve any lumps.
- 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 until softened, 2-3 mins.
- Stir in the korma paste, coconut milk and lemongrass paste.
- Reduce the heat and simmer until the veg is tender, 8-10 mins.
NOTE: If you've chosen to add chicken, add it to the pan before the carrot and courgette, season with salt and pepper and cook for 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- When everything is ready, squeeze the juice of half the lime wedges into the curry.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Stir the lime zest into the rice, fluffing it up as you go.
- Divide the rice between plates.
- Top with the creamy courgette curry.
- Sprinkle with cashews and sliced green scallion.
- Serve any remaining lime wedges alongside.
