Instructions

1

- Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil for the rice. 
- Add the rice and a pinch of salt.
- Boil for 8-10 mins, adjusting the heat if necessary, then drain in a sieve and return to the pan with the lid on, off the heat.

2

-Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. 

-Roughly chop the vine tomatoes into chunks (don't worry too much about the size!). 

-Zest the lime then chop into wedges.

3

-Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat and add the chicken. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw meat.

-Stir-fry until golden, 3-4 mins, then add the red onion. 
-Cook, stirring, for another 2 mins.

4

 -Stir in the Goan curry powder (careful, it's hot!) and tomato puree. Cook for 1 minute.

- Add the coconut milk and tomatoes. 
-Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 mins.
IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

  • Stir in the spinach a handful at a time, simmering  for 1 min to wilt in.
    - Remove from the heat and squeeze in half the lime juice.
    - Taste the curry and add salt and pepper if you feel it needs it.
6
  • Stir the lime zest through the rice.
    -Share the rice between your bowls and spoon the curry alongside. 
    - Finish with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
