It’s a beautiful tribute to her heritage that invites you to slow down, turn on the tunes and embrace the relaxed spirit of susegad.

Cooking Steps

• To a medium saucepan, add the water (for the rice)
and bring to the boil.
• Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce
heat to low.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat
and keep covered until rice is tender and water is
absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't
peek!

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic and brown onion
(see ingredients).
• Thinly slice long chilli (if using).
• Trim green beans and slice into thirds.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over
medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add brown
mustard seeds (see ingredients) and cook until
starting to pop, 1-2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low, then add green beans, onion,
long chilli, a splash of water and some coconut
milk (1/2 tbsp per person) (reserving the remaining
for step 5) and cook until tender, 5-6 minutes.
Season with a good pinch of salt and sugar.
• Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

• Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium-high
heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Add ginger paste, garlic, mild sambal seasoning
(see ingredients) and tamarind seasoning
(see ingredients) and cook, stirring until fragrant,
1 minute.

• To the frying pan, stir through tail-on prawns,
remaining coconut milk, the sugar and water
(for the curry).
• Cook until prawns are pink and starting to curl up
and sauce is slightly thickened, 3-5 minutes. Season
to taste.
