Ingredients

Poppy Seed Rice

  • 1 pack rice spices
  • 1/2 cup basmati rice
  • 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas

Fish

  • 1 pack green beans
  • 1 pack market fish
  • 1 pack Indian spices
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

To Serve

  • 1 Tbsp yoghurt
  • 1 bunch coriander, chopped

Steps

  1. Cook rice Bring a full kettle to the boil. Add rice spices, rice, boiling water measure and a pinch of salt to a medium pot and bring to the boil with a lid on. Reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 5 more minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. Prep veggies and fish Trim green beans. Pat fish dry, remove any remaining bones and cut into even-sized pieces. Season and toss with Indian spices and a drizzle of oil.
  3. Cook fish Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook fish for 2-3 minutes each side, depending on thickness or until cooked through. Rest, covered. Reserve pan.
  4. Cook beans Wipe pan clean and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook green beans for about 5 minutes, until tender. Add butter and garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until bright green. Season.
  5. To finish Cook peas in pot of boiling water for 1-2 minutes, until bright green and tender. Set half of the rice aside (this is leftover) before folding peas through cooked rice.
  6. Serve rice topped with beans, fish, a dollop of yoghurt and coriander.
