Instructions

1 Coconut sambal

Peel and finely chop the shallots. Squeeze half of the lime into a bowl. Add the shallots, measured water and chilli powder (spicy!). Stir well, then add the desiccated coconut - this is your coconut sambal.

2 Prep

Halve the tomatoes. Slice the cucumbers. Finely chop the coriander. In a bowl, toss the tomatoes, cucumbers, coriander and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

3 Prep

Peel and chop the onion. Drain the tuna. Strip the curry leaves and discard the stem. Crush the cardamom pods with the back of a knife.

4 Basmati rice

Rinse the basmati rice. Add the rice, a pinch of salt and the measured water to a pan with a lid and bring to a boil over a high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 min or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Once cooked, remove the pan from heat and keep covered until serving.

5 Curry

Meanwhile, heat a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the onion and fry for 5 min. Add the ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, cardamom, curry leaves, cinnamon, vegetable stock and cumin. Fry for 1 min. Add the coconut milk and tuna. Simmer for 3 min. Cover and set aside.

6 Serve

Microwave the chapatis for 30 sec until warmed through. Serve the tuna curry over the warm basmati rice with the coconut sambal, salad and chapatis alongside. Garnish with the fresh coriander leaves.
