Instructions
Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Stir in the rice, turmeric and 0.25 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.
Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
While the rice cooks, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 4-5 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the red onion into small pieces.
Once the beef is browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the onion to the beef and fry until softened, 4-5 mins.
In the meantime, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Stir the garlic, korma style paste, curry powder, ginger puree and tomato puree into the beef. Fry for 1 min.
Pour in beef stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Stir to combine.
Bring to the boil, then simmer until the sauce has thickened, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Once the curry has thickened, add the spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed.
When ready, fluff up the rice with a fork and share between your bowls.
Spoon over the beef and spinach curry.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the rich, intense flavours, though some found it needed more spice or sweetness for balance.
- Ease of prep: Several noted the dish was easy to make, with one calling it "so easy to make".
- Suggestions: Consider adding fresh coriander or a pinch of cumin to boost flavour; serve with naan and yoghurt for a complete meal.
- Portions: Many felt the rice portion (100g for two) was insufficient; consider increasing to 150g for a better meat-to-rice ratio.
- Rice texture: Some found the rice mushy or overcooked; adjust cooking time or water amount for better results.
