Steps

35 mins

1

Cook the Rice:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice and cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside, keeping it warm.
2

Prepare the Curry Base:
In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and curry powder, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
3

Add Vegetables and Simmer:
Stir in the sliced carrots, coconut milk, and crumbled vegetable stock cube. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the carrots to soften.
4

Cook the Fish:
Cut the fish fillets into large chunks and add them to the simmering curry. Cover the pan and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5

Add Spinach:
Gently stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season the curry with salt and pepper to taste.
6

Serve:
Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Spoon the coconut fish curry over the rice and garnish with lemon or lime wedges on the side.
