Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil, for drizzling
  • 2 eschallots, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
  • 3 cm x 4 cm piece ginger, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp ground pepperberry
  • 1 cup (250 ml) coconut cream
  • ½ cup (125 ml) coconut water
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated coconut
  • 2 giant clams, cleaned, sliced
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 2 picked sprigs karkalla
  • ½ small bunch coriander, finely chopped
  • Sea salt, for seasoning
  • Steamed rice, to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add the eschallots, garlic, ginger and pepperberry and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes, or until softened.
  2. Stir through the coconut cream, coconut water and grated coconut. Cook for a further 3-5 minutes, or until thickened. Stir through the sliced clam and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes or until cooked through. Stir through the molasses, karkalla and coriander. Season to taste with sea salt.
  3. Remove the curry from the heat. Spoon the curry directly into the giant clam shell, if you like, or onto a serving bowl, and serve with rice.
