Head Chef Patrick has gone on a Sri Lankan adventure! This week it took him to one of the country's most famous landmarks, the mighty Sigiriya rock.

Instructions

Halve the peppers, remove the cores and then slice as thin as you can (½cm is ideal). Peel and grate the ginger and garlic (or use a garlic press). Zest and juice the lime.

Boil the water (amount specified in the ingredient list) in a large saucepan over high heat. Add the vegetable stock pot and stir to dissolve. When the water is boiling, add the rice and star anise. Cover with a lid (or some foil) and lower the heat to medium. Leave to cook for 10 mins then remove from the heat. Leave to one side for another 10 mins. The rice will finish cooking in its own steam.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the mango chutney with the mustard seeds, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, a pinch of lime zest and the lime juice. Set aside.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and toast the desiccated coconut until golden, 2-3 mins. TIP: Stir frequently and keep a close eye on the coconut as it can burn very quickly. When golden, transfer to a bowl, wipe out the pan with some kitchen paper and return to high heat with a splash of oil.

When the oil in your frying pan is hot, stirfry the peppers until softened and browned, 5-7 mins. Add the prawns and curry leaves and stir-fry until the prawns are pink on the outside and opaque in the centre, another 3-4 mins. Remove from the heat and pour the dressing into the pan. TIP: The heat of your pan will cook the dressing. Stir well and get ready to serve.

Remove the star anise from the rice and fluff it up with a fork. Stir in half the desiccated coconut. Share the rice out between your bowls and spoon the prawn stir-fry on top. Drizzle over the dressing left in the pan and finish with a dusting of the remaining coconut. Enjoy!
