Water for the Sauce
Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Chop the tomatoes into 2cm chunks.
Pat the basa dry with kitchen paper and cut the it into 4cm pieces. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10-12 mins.
While the onion cooks, pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Stir in the rice, 0.25 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, once the onion is soft, add the sugar (see pantry for amount), stir and cook for 1 minute.
Add the tomato, garlic, curry powder and ginger puree to the onion. Stir together with the onion and cook for 3-4 mins, stirring occasionally, until the tomato has softened a little.
Pour in the coconut milk, water (see pantry for amount) and add the vegetable stock paste. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins.
Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Add the sauce to a blender and blitz until smooth, then pour back into your pan. Add a splash of water if it's a bit thick.
TIP: If you don't have a blender, don't worry, it'll still be just as delicious if you don't blitz it!
Taste and add salt and pepper if you feel it needs it.
Add the fish to the sauce in the pan and stir to coat.
Put your pan on medium high heat and bring the sauce to the boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium.
Simmer gently until the fish is cooked, 5-8 mins. IMPORTANT: The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
Fluff up the rice and divide between bowls.
Spoon the curry on top and sprinkle over the flaked almonds.
Enjoy!
