Method

step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.
step 2
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the potatoes (700 g) until tender. Drain, then return to the pan and cook over a gentle heat for 1 minute to dry out any excess moisture.
step 3
Pass the potatoes through a sieve. Add the butter (50 g), cream (50 ml), chives (1 bunch), coriander (1 handful), chilli powder (1 pinch) and cashews (50 g), mix well and transfer to a large piping bag fitted with a large star-shaped nozzle. Set aside.
step 4
To make the spice mix, combine the shallots (3), garlic (1 clove), ginger (2 cm), sparkling wine (100 ml), mustard seeds (1/2 tsp), chilli flakes (1/4 tsp), turmeric (1/4 tsp), coriander (1 handful) and lime juice (1) in a small bowl and set aside.
step 5
For the filling, melt the butter (50 g) in a clean pan. Add the flour (50 g) and cook, stirring constantly, for a couple of minutes. Add the coconut milk (1 tin) and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and just reaches the boil. Remove from the heat, add the spice mix and season, then add the scallops (1 pack).
step 6
Spoon the mixture into 4 gratin dishes or scallop shells, putting any leftovers in an extra dish if your scallop shells are small. Pipe the potato mixture around the edge of each dish or shell.
step 7
Sprinkle over the parmesan (50 g) and breadcrumbs (50 g) and place onto a baking tray. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes. If necessary, place under the grill to brown a little more before serving.
