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

  • Pull out 2 medium frying pans, a measuring jug, a sieve & a grater

Get started

  • Thinly slice the onion
  • Heat a medium frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and onion and cook for 4 mins, until golden. Season with salt and pepper

Simmer the sauce

  • Halve the tomatoes. Trim and cut the green beans into thirds
  • Add the tomatoes, Goan sauce and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person) to the pan. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 mins, until the chicken is cooked through
  • Add the green beans in the final 5-6 mins and cook for the remaining time, until tender. Add a splash of water if it becomes too thick

Time for rice

  • Meanwhile, zest and quarter the lime
  • When the curry has 5 mins remaining, heat the other medium frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon. Add a splash of water and season with salt. Cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot
  • Season with salt and stir the lime zest through the rice

Plate up

  • Rinse the spinach, then add to the curry and simmer for the final 1 min, until wilted. Add a squeeze of lime and season to taste
  • Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
  • Share the Goan chicken curry between bowls, with the zesty rice alongside. Scatter over the coconut chips and garnish with the remaining lime wedges
