step 1
Place the potatoes (500 g) in a pan and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until tender. Drain well and allow to steam dry in a colander.
step 2
Meanwhile, place a frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil (2 tbsp). Cook the onions (2) for 5-6 minutes, until golden.
step 3
Stir in the curry powder (3 tbsp), reduce the heat and continue cooking for 2 minutes until fragrant.
step 4
Add the cooked potatoes, stirring gently to coat and breaking down any larger pieces of potatoes.
step 5
Add the coconut cream (2 tins) and stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes over a low heat.
step 6
Meanwhile, in a small, lidded saucepan set over a medium heat, melt the coconut oil (1 tbsp). Add the cinnamon sticks (2), cardamom (9), cloves (6) and bay leaf (2). Cook for 1 minute, until aromatic. Stir in the rice (2 packs) along with the turmeric (1/2 tsp), stirring until the rice is broken up and coated in the oil mixture.
step 7
Add coconut cream (1 tin) and fill the can with water before swirling into the pan. Cover and cook for 4-5 mins until the coconut milk is combined and rice is fluffy. Season to taste
step 8
Heat half the remaining coconut oil (1 tbsp) in a large frying pan over a medium high heat. Fry the cashews (100 g) for 2-3 minutes, until golden and toasted. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and season.
step 9
Reduce the heat to medium and add the red onion (1), cooking for 3-4 minutes until soft and golden. Season, stir in the sultanas (50 g), and once these are plump and starting to caramelise, remove the mix using a slotted spoon. Stir into the cashews.
step 10
Add the remaining coconut oil (1 tbsp) to the pan and cook the kale (250 g) over a medium heat for 3 minutes.
step 11
Serve the curry, kale and rice sprinkled with the cashew mix and the desiccated coconut (50 g).
