Water for the Sauce
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Remove the butter (see pantry for amount) from your fridge.
Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Stir in the rice and 0.25 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.
Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Finely chop the coriander (stalks and all).
Pop the butter, half the garlic and half the coriander into a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper then mash with the back of a fork. Set aside for now.
Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways.
Pop the Tenderstem® broccoli onto a baking tray. Sprinkle over the mustard seeds. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until tender and crispy, 10-12 mins.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Pat the monkfish dry with kitchen paper, then season with salt and pepper.
Once hot, add the monkfish pieces to the pan. Cook for 3-4 mins each side, adjusting the heat as necessary.
When cooked, transfer the monkfish pieces to a bowl. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.
Add a drizzle more oil to the now empty frying pan, if needed, then add the tikka masala paste, tomato puree and remaining garlic. Fry for 30 secs.
Stir in the creme fraiche, water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and vegetable stock paste. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 mins.
Add the monkfish pieces back into the frying pan. Stir in the mango chutney and peas. Cook until piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Meanwhile, put the naans onto a baking tray. Sprinkle with a little water and pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
Once warmed, spread the garlic butter over the naans.
Spoon the monkfish curry into your serving bowls. Top with the broccoli and sprinkle over the remaining coriander.
Serve the rice and garlic butter naans on the side.
Enjoy!
