Method

  1. For the pilau rice, heat the oil in a large saucepan and, once hot, add the onion. Cook until the onions are golden-brown, this will take approximately 10 minutes.

  2. Stir in the cardamom, cinnamon and star anise. Add the rice and stir to coat in the onion spice mix. Add 600ml/21fl oz water and bring to the boil, reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 15 minutes then turn off the heat, leaving the lid on, and leave to steam for another 15 minutes.

  3. For the curry, heat a small frying pan and add the cumin and coriander seeds and cook until they start to pop. Remove from the pan, transfer to a pestle and mortar and pound the seeds to a coarse powder.

  4. In a large pan, heat the sunflower oil. When hot, add the onions and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until deeply golden-brown. Add all the spices (including those from the pestle and mortar), garlic, chilli, ginger, mango and fresh coconut and cook for 2- 3 minutes and then add the coconut milk and bring to the boil.

  5. Add the fish and cook for 2-3 minutes.

  6. To finish, add the tamarind paste and coriander and simmer for 1-2 minutes.

  7. Method for the coriander flatbeads, mix the turmeric, curry powder, coriander, salt, flour and in a bowl adding enough water to create a soft dough.

  8. Knead using floured hands and roll out on a floured surface until thin. Cut into rustic shapes and then pan fry in a hot pan brushed with butter for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden-brown.

  9. Serve the curry and rice in shallow serving bowls and place the flatbreads on the side.
