  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped (or ½ tsp garlic granules)
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (or ½ tsp ground ginger)
  • 250g tomatoes, diced (or 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes)
  • 250ml water
  • 500g white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock or tilapia - frozen ok), cut into large chunks
  • 300g frozen peas
  • 1 x 200g bag spinach
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • 500g brown basmati rice (microwave packets or dry)

Needed kitchenware
Instructions

1.

Heat the rice according to the pack instructions.

2.

Heat the oil in a large, deep pan over a medium heat. Add the fenugreek seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds.

3.

Add the onion and cook for 8 minutes until golden.

4.

Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the turmeric, chilli powder, coriander and cumin, and cook for 30 seconds, adding a splash of water if they start to stick.

5.

Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until soft and pulpy.

6.

Pour in the water, add the salt and simmer for 5 minutes.

7.

Add the fish and peas. Cover and simmer gently for 6–8 minutes, until the fish flakes easily. Shake the pan rather than stirring, so the fish stays in chunks.

8.

Gently fold in the spinach until wilted, then stir in the lemon juice.

9.

Serve rice with the curry.

Storage information

Leave to cool, then cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Freeze the curry without the rice for up to 3 months, although the fish will be a little softer. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat until piping hot. Cool leftover rice within an hour, refrigerate for no more than 1 day, and reheat only once until piping hot.

Tip

Lower carb: Swap the rice for a drained 400g tin of chickpeas, stirred into the curry with the fish.
