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.

  1. Preheat the oven to 230C / fan 210C / gas mark 8. Cut the sweet potato into wedges, then place on one side of a lined baking tray. Thinly slice the peppers and halve the tomatoes. Place both on the other side of the tray and drizzle over 1 tsp oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins, turning halfway, until all the veg is soft and golden. Add the falafels for the final 5-7 mins to heat through.
  2. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the quinoa and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain.
  3. Make the dressing; finely dice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Zest half the lime, then cut in half. In a small bowl, mix the yoghurt, turmeric, ginger paste (to taste), lime zest, half the chilli (to taste) and a squeeze of lime juice.
  4. Once the quinoa is cooked and drained, wipe the saucepan clean and reheat with 2 tsp oil on medium heat. Add the korma paste, cook for 30 seconds, then stir in the cooked quinoa, roasted tomatoes and peppers. Remove from the heat. Rinse and roughly chop the spinach, then stir into the quinoa along with a squeeze of lime juice (to taste) and a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Roughly chop the coriander. Toss half the coriander, a squeeze of lime juice, and the remaining chilli (to taste) with the roasted sweet potato.
  6. Serve the quinoa on plates, topped with the falafels and sweet potato. Drizzle over the dressing. Sprinkle the coconut chips and remaining coriander on top.
