A super simple curry, gorgeous alongside salad, roasted or stir-fried vegetables with the added bonus of only taking 25 minutes to cook.

SERVES:  2-3 PREP TIME:  10 mins COOK TIME:  15 mins

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 stems shallots (spring onions), finely sliced
  • 2g dried curry leaves, crushed
  • 500g firm white fish, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 60g baby spinach

Method

  1. Gently heat half the oil in a frying pan, adding in the shallots and cooking until soft.
  2. Add the curry leaves and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the fish, the rest of the olive oil, the turmeric and black pepper, cooking on a moderate to low heat until the fish is cooked – approximately 10 minutes.
  4. Finally stir through the spinach leaves until wilted before serving.

Inspiration and top tips

  • Combine the olive oil, turmeric and black pepper to marinade the fish before cooking
  • Try swapping the dried ingredients for fresh, i.e. fresh grated turmeric, fresh finely sliced curry leaves, or try adding garlic or chilli
  • Frozen spinach also works well and gives more of a ‘saucy’ texture
