Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk cornstarch, coconut milk and orange juice until smooth. Add chili sauce, ginger and soy sauce. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in oranges, green onion, almonds and sesame oil; heat through. Serve with cod; sprinkle with cilantro.

Tip in the garam masala and sweetcorn mixture, and mix with 350ml boiling water, the bouillon, chilli (if using) and cinnamon stick. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat to medium. Add the beans and tomatoes, then cover the pan and cook for 6 mins.
