WHAT ARE THE 5 SPICES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Chop up all the fruit, discarding any stones.
  2. Place the fruit in a pan. If using rhubarb, peel the ginger and finely grate it into the pan. Add the sugar – I usually add 3 heaped teaspoons to rhubarb and 2 heaped teaspoons to any other fruit, but just taste as you go along and add more if you think it needs it (please be careful when tasting as it gets really hot). Add 2 tablespoons of water and cook on a medium heat with the lid on.
  3. Once the fruit has softened, remove the lid and let the liquid reduce – you want to end up with a fairly thick consistency.
  4. Serve over cereal, yoghurt, pancakes, granola, muesli or even with roast pork!

Steps:

• 1. Peel and finely slice the shallots, garlic and ginger. Trim and finely slice the chilli. Cut the fish into chunks.
  2. Heat a lug of groundnut oil in a large pan, add the mustard seeds and curry leaves and cook until the seeds start to pop.
  3. Add the shallot, garlic, ginger and chilli, and cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  4. Mix the chilli powder and turmeric together with a splash of water, and stir into the pan. Fry for 1 minute, then add the fish, coconut milk and tomatoes.
  5. Season, bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked and the sauce has reduced.
  6. Pick, chop and scatter over the coriander leaves. Delicious served with basmati rice and warm naan bread.
