Cooking Instructions and Tips

Prep Time
1

Fill and boil the kettle. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a colander. Zest the lime and cut into 4 wedges. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Cut the coley fillets into 2 cm chunks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw fish.

Boil the Rice
2

Pour the boiling water into a large saucepan on high heat. Add 0.25 tsp of salt and bring to the boil. When boiling, add the rice and cook until tender, 12 mins. Drain the rice in a sieve.

Make the Curry
3

Meanwhile heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on a medium high heat. When hot add the chickpeas and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the garlic, tomato puree and Sri Lankan curry powder and cook for a further minute. Stir in the water (see ingredients for amount), vegetable stock powder and coconut milk.

Cook the Fish
4

Increase the heat, bring to a boil and add the coley making sure that the fish is submerged in the liquid. Turn the heat to medium and cover with a lid and simmer until the fish is cooked, 8-10 minutes. IMPORTANT: The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle. Once cooked, taste and season with salt and pepper.
