Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill your kettle and boil it. Tip the rice into a sieve and rinse under cold water, then tip it into a small pan. Pour in 300ml boiling water and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Pop on a lid, bring to the boil and then turn the heat right down and very gently cook for 8 mins till all the water has been absorbed. Take the pan off the heat and leave the rice in the pan to steam, lid on, for 2-3 mins to finish cooking the rice.

  • 2.

    While the rice comes to the boil, halve the cherry tomatoes. Trim the woody ends off the French beans then roughly chop them.

  • 3.

    Crumble the coconut cream into a medium-sized pan on a medium-high heat. Warm for 2-3 mins, till the cream is liquid and starting to crack – it will look curdled, like yogurt. This is what you want.

  • 4.

    Stir 1 tbsp Thai green curry paste into the coconut cream. Cook and stir for 1 min, then add the chopped tomatoes and beans. Cook, stirring for 3 mins to just start to soften the veg.

  • 5.

    Pour in 250ml boiling water, pop on a lid and bring back to the boil. Once boiling, add the fish pie mix. Simmer for 5 mins till the fish is opaque and flakes easily when pressed with a fork.

  • 6.

    Squeeze in the juice from half the lime and stir in a pinch of salt. Taste and add a little more salt if you think it needs it. Fluff the rice with a fork and divide between 2 warm bowls. Top with the curry and serve with the remaining lime half, sliced into wedges for squeezing.
