In a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to the boil. Add the basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half-moons. Roughly chop the Asian greens. Roughly chop the coriander.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the carrot and cook until just tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the Asian greens and garlic and cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. Add the soy sauce and rice wine vinegar and toss to combine. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the white fish fillets and cook until golden and just cooked through, 2-3 minutes on each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate.
TIP: The fish is cooked through when it turns from translucent to white.
Return the frying pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the mild North Indian spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and vegetable stock powder. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Add any fish resting juices to the sauce and stir to combine.
Divide the basmati rice between bowls. Top with the garlic-soy veggies and fish. Spoon over the North Indian coconut sauce. Garnish with the coriander.
