Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) your ginger
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Chop your creamed coconut finely
Add your basmati rice to an oven-proof dish with the chopped creamed coconut, chopped ginger, chopped garlic, garam masala, ground coriander, vegetable stock mix, sultanas and a generous pinch of salt and pepper
Add 350ml [525ml] [700ml] cold water and stir it all together, then cover tightly with tin foil
Put the dish in the oven for 30-35 min or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked – this is your coconut rice
Whilst the rice is cooking, pierce your sweet potato[es] with a fork, then cook in the microwave for 10-12 min or until fork-tender
Slice half your green chilli[es] into rounds and finely chop the remainder
Tip: Not a fan of spice? Remove the seeds!
Chop your coriander finely, including the stalks
Add the chopped coriander to a small bowl with the finely chopped green chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), the juice of half your lime[s], a drizzle of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt, sugar and pepper
Give everything a good mix up – this is your coriander salsa
Cut the remaining lime into wedges
Combine your tamarind paste with a small knob of butter in a small bowl – this is your tamarind glaze
Carefully cut narrow slices (approx. 1cm apart) into the cooked sweet potato[es], making sure not to cut all the way down to the base – this is your hasselback sweet potato
Add the potato[es] to one side of a tin foil-lined baking tray, spread the tamarind glaze over the top with the back of a spoon and put in the oven for an initial 4-5 min – this is your tamarind glazed sweet potato
After the initial 4-5 min, remove the tray from the oven and carefully add your flaked almonds to the other side of the baking tray
Return the tray[s] to the oven for a final 3-4 min or until the almonds are toasted and lightly golden
Tip: Watch them like a hawk to make sure they don't burn!
To serve, divide the coconut rice between plates and top with a tamarind glazed sweet potato
Top with the coriander salsa, reserved green chilli rounds (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) and toasted flaked almonds
Garnish with a lime wedge and season with a pinch of black pepper
Enjoy!
