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

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out 2 large bowls, a grater, a peeler, a large frying pan, a measuring jug & a sieve

Boil the rice & marinate the chicken

  • Add the rice to the saucepan and half the curry powder to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain and return to the pan
  • In a large bowl, add the chicken and the tandoori marinade (use less if you prefer things milder). Toss to coat and set aside

Mango salsa time

  • Meanwhile, peel and dice the mangoes into 2cm chunks. Finely dice the shallots. Zest and quarter the lemon. Roughly chop the coriander
  • In the other large bowl, combine the mango, shallot, half the coriander and the juice from half the lemon

Simmer the curry

  • Halve the tomatoes
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4 mins
  • Stir in the coconut milk, creamed coconut, tomatoes, remaining curry powder, any remaining marinade from the bowl & 100ml of water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 13 mins, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency

Last bits & plate up

  • Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear
  • Rinse the spinach, then stir into the curry for 1 min, until wilted
  • Stir the lemon zest and remaining coriander through the rice and season generously with salt
  • Serve the chicken curry into bowls, with the rice and mango salsa alongside. Garnish with the remaining lemon wedges for squeezing over
