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 lidded saucepan, a medium bowl, a grater, a sieve & a measuring jug

Get started

  • Add the rice to the saucepan of boiling water and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain and return to the pan
  • Meanwhile, heat the other medium saucepan on medium heat. Once hot, add the Goan sauce and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person)
  • Bring the sauce to a boil, lay the cod evenly in the pan, cover with a lid and simmer on medium heat for 19 mins, until the fish is cooked through

Make the kachumber salad

  • Quarter the tomatoes. Dice the cucumber into 1cm chunks. Roughly chop the coriander. Zest and quarter the lemon
  • In the medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, half the lemon juice, half the coriander and 1 tsp oil. Season with salt and pepper

Finishing touches

  • Rinse the spinach and stir through the fish curry in the final minute, until wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Stir the lemon zest and nigella seeds through the rice. Season with a pinch of salt
  • Share the cod curry between bowls, with the nigella rice and kachumber salad alongside. Garnish with the remaining coriander and lemon, cut into wedges
