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. Cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes (peel optional). Place in a saucepan and cover with salted hot water. Bring to a boil then simmer for 15-18 mins, until soft, then drain.
  2. Finely dice the onion. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Heat a saucepan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add three-quarters of the onion. Season with sea salt and black pepper and cook for 3-4 mins, until soft. Trim the green beans.
  3. Add the curry powder, garlic and madras paste to the pan. Cook for 1 min, then add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, green beans, 200ml hot water and the pork and all the juices. Simmer for 10-12 mins, until the green beans are soft and the sauce has thickened. Break up the pork with a wooden spoon. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry.
  4. Roughly chop the coriander. Stir the spinach, cooked potatoes and half the coriander through the curry. Cook for 1 min to wilt. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  5. Serve the madras in bowls and garnish with the remaining coriander and onion.
