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.

Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 6. Coarsely grate the sweet potato (peel optional). Place in a sieve over a bowl and sprinkle with sea salt; set aside. Finely dice the onion. Finely chop or grate the garlic and ginger.
Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the venison, season with sea salt and cook for 5 mins, turning until browned on all sides. Then, add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 5 mins, until softened.
Add the spice mix and tomato puree, cook for 1 min, then add 350ml hot water (200ml for 1 person). Crumble in half the stock cube and stir. Bring to a boil then cover with a lid. Simmer for 20 mins, until thickened. Add a splash of water if it gets too thick.
Meanwhile, squeeze out the water from the sweet potato and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the flour, 1 egg (beaten) and 1 tbsp oil. Mix well, then shape into 6 small patties. Place onto a lined baking tray and bake for 15 mins, until golden and cooked through.
Bring a small saucepan filled with hot water to a boil. Carefully lower in the remaining egg. Boil for 6 mins, then remove. Run under cold water and carefully peel, then cut in half.
Stir the spinach through the curry to wilt. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste and then serve alongside the sweet potato bhajis. Garnish with the soft-boiled egg and a twist of black pepper.
