Place the rice into a large microwave-safe dish. Combine the stock and curry paste, then pour this mixture over the rice. Cover the dish with cling film and use a fork to pierce it several times. Microwave on High for 6 mins.
Flake the mackerel into large pieces and add them to the rice along with the peas and crème fraîche. Stir everything together. Microwave for a further 6-8 mins on medium until the rice is tender. Arrange the quartered eggs on top and serve with a sprinkling of fresh coriander.
