Method

  1. Heat the oil in a lidded frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 6-8 mins until softened. Add the ginger, garlic, chilli and turmeric and cook for 2 mins. Add the coconut milk, 50ml water, the stock cube and the spinach. Season and simmer for 10-12 mins until the spinach has defrosted and the sauce has thickened slightly. Add the fish and lime zest to the curry and bring back to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring a couple of times, for 4-5 mins until the fish is cooked through. Stir through half of the coriander.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the rice to pack instructions.
  3. Divide the rice among bowls and top with the curry, remaining coriander, lime wedges and mango chutney.
