This coconut curry is a perfect dinner to enjoy after a long day, and better yet it doesn't take long to cook. A real vegetarian hero, it's packed with South East Asian flavours. Coconut milk, red curry paste and kaffir lime leaves are a delicious combination that work well with the starch of potato.

Rice Cooker (Optional)
Deepsided Pan with Lid
In a pot, combine the jasmine rice, a pinch of salt and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Keep covered until ready to serve. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.
Tip! Taste the rice - if it is still too firm, add a few more tablespoons of water.
Peel and thinly slice 3⁄4 of the brown onion (you will have some left over). Halve any of the chat potatoes that are on the large side. Pick coriander leaves, discard stems. Cut lime into wedges.
Tip! The smaller the potato pieces, the quicker the cooking time. We don't peel the potatoes for this recipe.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large deep-sided pan over medium heat. Add black mustard seeds and cook, stirring for 1-2 minutes until starting to sizzle. Add onion, vegetarian red curry paste (to taste, see tip) and minced lemongrass and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the potatoes and stir to coat in the paste.
Tip! Use peanut or coconut oil if you have it, otherwise any neutral oil will do. Add the curry paste to taste, it is quite a spicy one - if you prefer less heat, maybe just add half to start with.
Add stock concentrate, coconut milk, 200ml of water and kaffir lime leaves. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes or until potato is just tender. Add peas to curry and cook for a further minute until they are just tender and bright green.
Tip! If you're adding protein to this recipe; this step is a good place to prepare and properly cook your protein ensuring it is safe to eat.
Squeeze through lime juice to taste and balance the flavours with salt or pepper or maybe a little sugar if you like. Stir through coriander (keep rest for garnish). Serve over rice with a coriander and lime garnish.
