1. Combine beef, oil and spices. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 mins to marinate.
2. Melt ghee in a saucepan over medium heat. Working in batches, cook beef for 2-3 mins, until browned. Set aside. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 3-4 mins, until softened. Add garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Return beef to pan. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and stock. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 2 hours.
3. Add squash and simmer, uncovered, for 20 mins. Add green beans and simmer for 5 mins, until vegetables are tender and sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and fold in 1/4 cup cilantro. Season.
4. Meanwhile, to make the toasted coconut and banana sambal, heat a small frying pan over low heat. Cook coconut, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 mins, until toasted. Let cool. Toss with sliced banana, lime juice and pistachios.
5. Spoon rice into serving bowls. Top with beef vindaloo. Serve with yogurt, toasted coconut and banana sambal, lime wedges and remaining cilantro.
