Indonesian Curry

Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion into half moons. Peel and grate the ginger. Halve, then remove the core from the red pepper and chop into 2cm pieces. Remove the top and bottom from the courgette. Cut in half lengthways then slice into 1cm wide half moons. Trim the tops from the green beans and chop in half. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

Put a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 mins. Add the ginger and yellow curry paste along with a pinch of sugar (if you have some) and cook, still stirring, for another minute. Add the rest of the veggies, along with the coconut milk and remaining stock pot. Stir to dissolve the stock pot, then simmer until thickened, 10 mins.

While the curry cooks, put another frying pan on high heat and add the cashew nut pieces (no oil). Toast until golden, 2-3 mins. Shake the pan often. TIP: Watch your nuts like a hawk as they burn easily! Remove from the pan and set aside.

When the curry is cooked, stir through the soy sauce and add a squeeze of lime juice. Taste and add more lime juice if desired. Fluff the rice up with a fork and remove the star anise.
