Cooking Steps
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Stir in the rice and ¼ tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.
Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, add the garlic, tandoori masala mix and korma curry paste. Cook until fragrant, 1-2 mins.
Pour in the coconut milk, veg stock paste and water for the curry (see pantry for amount).
Stir to combine and bring to the boil. Stir through the red split lentils, then turn the heat down to medium-low and cover with a lid or foil.
Simmer until the lentils are tender, 20-25 mins.
Stir occasionally to make sure the lentils aren't sticking to the bottom of the pan. Add a splash of water if the curry gets too dry.
Meanwhile, halve the baby plum tomatoes. Trim and cut the green beans into thirds.
After 10 mins, remove the lid from the lentil pan and stir through the tomatoes. Continue to simmer for another 10-15 mins.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the green beans. Season with salt and pepper, then stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins. Stir in the mustard seeds and cook for 1 min.
Add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until the beans are tender, 4-5 mins. Remove from the heat.
When the curry has 10 mins remaining, drain the prawns. Stir into curry and cook for another 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
Once the lentils are cooked, stir through the mango chutney and butter (see pantry for amount) until melted. Remove from the heat.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.
When everything's ready, fluff up the rice with a fork and share between your bowls.
Top with the butter prawn and lentil curry and mustard seed green beans.
