  2. Pour in 600ml coconut milk and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, then tip in the beans. Let it bubble for 10 mins, stirring occasionally.

  3. Heat the oven to 180C/160C/ gas 4. Drizzle half of the kale with oil and season well with salt. Spread over a baking tray and bake for 8-10 mins until darkened and crisp.

  4. Meanwhile, put the coriander, remaining coconut milk, green chilli, half of the lime juice and a good pinch of salt in the bowl of a small food processor, or in a deep bowl if using a hand blender. Blitz to a drizzlable consistency, then set aside.
