Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a medium frying pan, a small bowl, another medium saucepan, a measuring jug & a sieve

Cook the rice & egg

  • Add the rice to the saucepan of boiling water and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain
  • Rinse the egg. When the rice has 7 mins remaining, carefully lower the egg into the pan using a spoon
  • Boil for 7 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon and run under cold water

Make the chilli oil

  • Thinly slice the garlic
  • Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add half the garlic and cook for 1 min, or until the edges begin to brown
  • Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the chilli paste and season with salt. Transfer to the small bowl and reserve for later

Char the corn

  • Drain the sweetcorn
  • Rinse the frying pan, then reheat with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the corn and cook for 5-6 mins, until golden. Season with salt and pepper
  • Squeeze over the juice from half the lime and 1 tsp of the Goan sauce. Toss to coat, then cover to keep warm

Simmer the curry

  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas
  • Heat the other medium saucepan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and remaining garlic and cook for 30 secs, then add the remaining half pack of Goan sauce, the chickpeas and 50ml water (25ml for 1 person). Simmer for 2-3 mins
  • Rinse the spinach, then add to the chickpeas and simmer for 1-2 mins, until wilted

Finish & plate up

  • Carefully peel and halve the egg
  • Share the chickpea curry between bowls, with the rice and corn alongside. Top with the egg. Drizzle over the garlic chilli oil to finish. Serve with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
