Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the curry leaf stems and cook for 1 min or until crisp. Transfer half the curry leaf stems to a plate lined with paper towel.

  2. Step 2

    Add mustard seeds to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 1 min or until aromatic. Add the onion, ginger, sliced chilli, if using, and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion is tender. Add the turmeric, garam masala and chilli powder, if using, and cook, stirring, for 30 secs or until aromatic. Add the coconut milk and 200ml water and stir to combine. Season. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins or until sauce thickens slightly. 

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, to make tomato-coconut sambal, combine the tomato, onion, coconut, lime juice and chilli powder, if using, in a medium bowl. Season.

  4. Step 4

    Add the roma tomato to the curry mixture and simmer for 5 mins or until the tomato softens slightly. Add the salmon and Perino tomato. Cover and cook for 3 mins. Add beans and cook, covered, for a further 3 mins or until salmon is just cooked through and beans are just tender. Stir in the lime juice. 

  5. Step 5

    Divide rice and curry among serving bowls. Top with reserved curry leaf stems and tomato-coconut sambal.

Recipe tip

Serve with sliced green chilli, coriander sprigs and lime wedges

COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Switch it:
For a curry that's lighter on your hip pocket, swap the salmon for a white fish such as basa or ling (if it's a thinner fish fillet, it may cook a little quicker than salmon).

Use it up: If you have desiccated coconut in the pantry, you can use that instead of the shredded coconut in this recipe.
