Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Pull out a large frying pan, a small bowl, a sieve, a peeler & a measuring jug
Boil the potatoes
- Dice the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel optional), then add to the saucepan with half the curry powder. Simmer for 15-18 mins, until soft, then drain
Prep the rest
- Meanwhile, peel and halve the onion, then thinly slice. Halve the tomatoes and lime. Rinse the spinach
- Add one-third of the onion to the small bowl, along with the juice from half the lime and a pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle
Start the aloo keema
- Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef and the remaining onion. Season with salt and pepper
- Cook for 7 mins, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until golden brown. Add the tomatoes and the remaining curry powder. Cook for another 1 min
Finishing touches
- Stir the Rogan Josh sauce, creamed coconut and 75ml water (40ml for 1 person) into the beef. Stir until the coconut dissolves, then simmer for 3-4 mins, until thickened
- Stir through the spinach and cook for a final 1 min, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste
Plate up
- Roughly chop the coriander. Stir the cooked potato and half the coriander through the aloo keema, then share between bowls. Top with the pickled onion. Garnish with the remaining coriander and lime, cut into wedges
