InstructionsPDF
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the rice.
- When boiling, add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.
- Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot.
- Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Place a pan over medium-high heat (no oil).
- Once the pan is hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw meat and its packaging. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks.
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Once the mince has browned, add the onion (with a drizzle of oil if necessary). Fry until it's starting to soften, 3-4 mins.
3
- Finely chop the chilli.
- Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve.
- Once the onion has softened, add the North Indian style spice and chilli (use less if you don't like spice) to the pan.
- Cook, stirring, for 1 min.
4
- Add 100ml water (double for 4p), passata, stock and lentils to the pan.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir together. Simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel it needs loosening.
5
- Add the spinach a handful at a time.
- Cook until wilted and piping hot, 2-3 mins.
- Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
6
- Divide the rice between your bowls.
- Top with the curry and a dollop of yoghurt.
