Steps

  1. Prepare first: cut the cod fillet into 2-inch pieces, cut the cauliflower into florets, peel and cube the sweet potato, dice the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger and chop the cilantro. Divide the salt into two halves.
  2. Cook the rice: bring the water, the rice and half of the salt to a boil in a small saucepan, cover, simmer on low for 15 minutes, then rest off the heat, covered, while you make the curry.
  3. Heat the canola oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook 5 minutes until soft.
  4. Stir in the garlic and ginger for 1 minute, then add the curry powder, turmeric and cumin and stir 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the coconut milk, vegetable broth and fish sauce and bring to a simmer.
  6. Add the sweet potato and simmer 5 minutes, then add the cauliflower, cover and simmer 8 to 10 minutes until both are just tender.
  7. Season the cod fillet pieces with the remaining half of the salt, nestle the cod into the sauce, cover and simmer gently 5 to 7 minutes until the cod flakes easily and reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Gently stir in the lime juice, fluff the rice, and serve the curry over the rice topped with the cilantro.
