method
1. To make the spice mix, pound all the spices to a fine paste using a pestle in a mortar.
2. Put the pepper, celery, baby corn cobs, leek, sweet potato, pineapple juice, water and the spice mix into a large, lidded saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and skim the scum from the surface with a metal spoon. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Add the pak choi, courgette and mangetout and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Add the lime juice, then gradually add the cornflour mixture, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened to the required consistency.
5. Remove the curry from the heat and leave to cool for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the yoghurt. (Do not boil once the yoghurt has been added or the curry will separate.)
6. Stir in the fresh coriander and serve the curry with the rice, garnished with a little extra fresh coriander.
