Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large, lidded frying pan over a medium heat and add the onion and aubergine. Cover and cook for 8-10 mins until softened. Add the curry paste and fry, uncovered, for 3 mins. Stir in the coconut milk, 100ml water, the sugar and tamari. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 mins until slightly thickened.
  2. Add the turkey and simmer for 8-10 mins until cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  3. Meanwhile, boil the beans for 6-8 mins until tender; drain. Divide the rice between 4 plates, spoon over the curry and serve with the beans. Scatter over the chilli and coriander.

Tip: For DIY rendang paste, blitz 1 onion with 3 garlic cloves, 25g ginger, 1 red chilli, ½ tsp ground cumin, ½ tsp turmeric and 1 tsp ground coriander.
