step 1
For the curry paste, crush spinach (1 handful), green chillies (2), ginger (1 piece), lemongrass (2 stalks), shallots (3), lime (1), kaffir lime leaf (1), ground coriander (2 tsp) and cumin seeds (1/2 tsp) along with ½ tsp black pepper in a pestle and mortar, or alternatively, blitz in a food processor. Set aside.
step 2
To make the curry, heat the coconut cream (100 ml) in a wok or large frying pan over a medium heat. Stir in 2 tbsp of the curry paste (you can freeze any remaining paste). Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the coconut milk (1 tin).
step 3
Stir in the aubergine (1) and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the peas (150 g), king prawns (2 packs), basil (20), lime leaves (2), fish sauce (1 tbsp), sugar (1 pinch) and lemongrass (1 stalk) and cook for a further 5-6 minutes, then season.
step 4
For the coconut rice, pour the coconut cream (60 ml) into a large pan with 450ml water and bring to the boil. Rinse the rice (250 ml) in a sieve and add this to the pan along with the lime leaves (2), the lemongrass (1/2 stalk) and a good pinch of sea salt.
step 5
Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and leave covered for a further 5 minutes. Remove and discard the lime leaves and lemongrass, then stir in the coriander (1 handful).
step 6
For the salad, mix the lime juice (2), fish sauce (1 1/2 tbsp), caster sugar (1 tbsp) and garlic (1 clove) in a large bowl along with 2 tbsp vegetable oil to make a dressing. Toss through the onion (1/2), cucumber (1), peanuts (50 g) and red chilli (1).
step 7
Divide the curry, coconut rice and salad between serving dishes and serve with the lime wedges (2).
