2 garlic cloves

2 x 150g cod fillet (skin off)

400g chopped tomatoes

80g brown rice

4. Heat a medium-sized pan with ¼ tbsp oil on a medium-high heat and cook the aubergine for 5 mins, then remove from the pan and set aside. Heat the same pan on a medium heat with ¼ tbsp oil and cook the black mustard seeds, garlic, coriander stalks and shallot for 3 mins, then stir in the Madras curry paste for 1 minute. Add the chopped tomatoes and cooked aubergine, season with sea salt and black pepper and simmer for 2 mins.

6. Dissolve the creamed coconut in a small bowl with 30ml boiling water to make a drizzle. Drain the brown rice and stir through the coriander leaves.
