  2. Add curry powder and cook over a low heat for another 2 minutes.
  3. Add wine, bring to the boil, and reduce on medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add coconut cream and cook over a low heat for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Puree with a stick mixer or blender and strain. Use 1 cup of this mixture to use in the risotto and keep it warm. Reserve and freeze rest of this liquid for another time if you wish.
  6. To make the risotto: Put fish stock in a pot and bring to the boil, then reduce to a slow simmer.
