Tasty: Hiya, not enough liquid for the rice to cook perfectly.
Steaming fish in the Varoma (and not in the basket) takes over double the time, more liquid is needed (it steams off you'd need more than 300mls extra) for the flesh to cook successfully.

This is a great recipe which I halved as I didn't have enough fish for the whole recipe. It was authentic tasting and spicy. However there are a few changes I would make next time which are as follows:
- cut the lemongrass into 5cm pieces and not blend up in TMX as you can't eat these pieces in final sauce but it's best to leave as big pieces to infuse flavour.
- add 2 full MC's of water and 2 cans of coconut milk so there is enough sauce for everyone
- cut fish smaller (into 2cm pieces) that are easier to eat and place on Varoma tray to cook evenly and for longer.
- place veges in Varoma bowl and cook for longer
- attempt cooking rice at same time in steaming basket
- I also think it's a good idea to add the veges in the ingredient list under 'to serve with' in order to buy them as I didn't realise I needed them (and rice too)
Will make this recipe again. It was a little spicy for me using only one seeded regular red chilli but hubby loved it. Thanks for converting and sharing!
