KERALAN SCALLOP MOLEE

Steps:

• Look at the scallops to find a little white bit at the side - this becomes tough when cooked, so cut it off (watch our how to prepare scallops video to find out more). If you have small queen scallops, you probably won't need to halve them, but if you have large ones, slice them in half horizontally.
• Heat the oil and add the mustard and cumin seeds. Cook until the mustard seeds start to pop, then add the onion, chillies, garlic, ginger and curry leaves. Cook for 12 mins or until the onion is golden and the ginger no longer tastes 'raw'. Add the turmeric, cook for 1 min, then add the coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, season and add the tomatoes. Cook for 12-15 mins or until the mixture is slightly thicker and reduced. (If you want to cook this in advance - and the base does taste better after a day in the fridge - stop now, cool and chill. When reheating, bring it to just under the boil before you add the scallops.)
• Add the scallops (and prawns or fish, if using) and cook gently for 5 mins (longer if you're using meaty chunks of fish fillet) or until cooked through. Add lime or lemon juice to taste and season well. Scatter with coriander and serve with rice.

RED CURRY OF SCALLOPS

Steps:

• First make the paste, using the listed ingredients.
• The traditional way to do this is to add individual ingredients in a certain order (from the hardest and driest to the softest and wettest), with each being reduced to a pulp before the next is added.
• A pestle and mortar is the ideal tool for this.
• When the paste is made, crack the coconut cream over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of the paste and fry, stirring regularly, for at least 5 minutes and until fragrant.
• Season with sugar and fish sauce.
• Add coconut milk and simmer until reduced.
• Add scallops and half the kaffir lime leaves, simmering until the scallops are just cooked.
• Check the seasoning, then arrange the scallops on a plate.
• Drizzle over the coconut cream, sprinkle with the remaining lime leaves, red chilli and coriander.
