METHOD
1) Preheat the oven to 180C and line a baking tray with baking paper
2) Melt a little coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add the mustard seeds and curry leaves and cook for 1 minute or until the mustard seeds start to pop. Add the onion and ginger and cook for 3–4 minutes, then stir in the turmeric, curry powder and chilli and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
3) Add the coconut milk, stock, tomatoes and green beans. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
4) Make the cauliflower couscous by placing the cauliflower florets in a saucepan. Cover with water, season with salt. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes until blanched.
5) Meanwhile spread out the almonds on the prepared tray and toast in the oven for 5 minutes or until golden.
6) Drain the cauliflower well and place into a food processor. Blitz until it resembles couscous. Stir through the toasted almonds.
7) Add the fish, spinach and lime juice to the curry and simmer for 2 minutes or until the fish is just cooked.
8) Divide the cauliflower couscous and curry among four bowls. Garnish with coriander and serve with lime wedges
