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 medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a sieve & a measuring jug

Cook the rice

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

Get sizzlin' & prep the veg

  • Heat the large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the turkey and cook for 9 mins, turning occasionally, until golden. Season with salt and pepper
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion. Halve the tomatoes. Finely chop the coriander. Rinse the spinach

Build the curry

  • Lower the heat, then add the onion to the turkey pan with another 1 tsp oil and cook for 5 mins. Add the tomatoes, ginger & garlic paste and pasanda spice and cook for a further 2 mins, until softened and fragrant
  • Stir in the creamed coconut, stock powder and 150ml water (75ml for 1 person). Bring to a boil and simmer for 5-6 mins, until the sauce thickens and the turkey is cooked through

Finishing touches

  • Add the spinach to the curry and cook for a further minute, until wilted
  • Stir the coriander through the rice and season with salt

Plate up

  • Check your turkey is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
  • Share the turkey pasanda between bowls, with the coriander rice alongside. Garnish with the coconut chips
