Ingredients you'll need
  • 150g white basmati rice
  • 1 onion
  • 2 vine tomatoes
  • 250g pork stir-fry strips
  • 1 tbsp Goan curry paste
  • 40g tomato sauce
  • 100g baby leaf spinach
From your kitchen
  • 600ml boiling water
  • Sea salt
  • 1 tbsp coconut, sunflower
  • or olive oil
You'll need
  • Small pan with a lid
  • Measuring jug
  • Deep frying pan or wok with a lid
  • Baking tray (optional)
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill your kettle and boil it. Tip the rice into a sieve, rinse under cold water then tip it into a small pan. Pour in 300ml boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Pop on a lid, bring to the boil, then turn the heat right down and very gently cook for 8 mins till the rice has absorbed all the water. Take the pan off the heat and let the rice steam in the pan, lid on, for 5 mins to finish cooking.

  • 2.

    While the rice cooks, peel and finely slice the onion. Dice the vine tomatoes.

  • 3.

    Pop a deep frying pan or wok on a high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil and the pork stir-fry strips. Fry, stirring often, for 3-4 mins till the pork strips are browned.

  • 4.

    Add the onion and tomatoes to the pork. Fry, stirring often, for 5 mins till the veg start to look glossy. Stir 1 tbsp Goan curry paste and the tomato sauce into the pan. Fry, stirring, for 1 min.

  • 5.

    Pour in 300ml boiling water, pop on a lid (or use a baking tray if you don't have a lid) and bring up to the boil. Turn the heat down a little and simmer for 5 mins. Stir a couple of times to stop the curry sticking. The sauce should thicken a little and the pork will just be tender.

  • 6.

    Fork the spinach into curry to wilt it. Taste and add a pinch of salt if you think the curry needs it.

  • 7.

    Fluff the rice with a fork and divide between a couple of warm plates or bowls. Ladle over the curry and serve.
