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

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a sieve & a measuring jug

Get the rice on

  • Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain

Time to roast

  • Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets
  • Place the cauliflower florets and haddock onto the lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Roast for 20-25 mins, until soft and golden. After 18 mins, remove the haddock from the oven

Simmer simmer

  • Meanwhile, finely slice the onion. Roughly chop the coriander. Halve the lime
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 3-4 mins, until soft
  • Add the ginger & garlic paste, korma paste and curry powder, then cook for 1 min
  • Add the coconut milk, stock powder and 100ml water. Simmer for 5 mins, until thickened

Last bits

  • Rinse the spinach
  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Once the haddock is cooked, flake the fish into large pieces using a fork. Discard the skin
  • Stir the spinach into the curry to wilt, then add the haddock, roast cauliflower, coriander and the juice from half the lime. Season to taste with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Serve the curry into bowls, with the rice alongside. Garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
