Instructions

Step 1

Kick off with the courgette fries. Whisk one egg and add a dash of salt and pepper, and in a separate bowl, mix up the coconut flour, almond flour and herbs/paprika.

Step 5

Let it sizzle for about 3 minutes and then flip them so that they brown evenly. When they’re nice and crispy, transfer them to a baking sheet and bake at 220C for about 10 minutes, flipping them half way through.

Step 6

Take them out, sprinkle them with some salt and eat hot straight from the oven with your favourite sauce (they’re unreal with garlic mayo)!

Step 7

Now for the curry – lash the chopped garlic and onions into a pan with the oil and let them soften. Don’t burn them, for feck sake.

Rice time. Rinse your rice and throw it into a saucepan along with everything apart from the butter and cashew nuts. Once it’s cooked, add them in – and oh MAN, is that going to taste pretty special.
