Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Heat Guide for Step 3 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1/8 tsp mild, 1/4 tsp medium, 1/2 tsp spicy and 1 tsp extra-spicy! Add 1 1/4 cups water and 1/8 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.

Prep
2

Meanwhile, peel, then finely chop shallot. Roughly chop cilantro. Peel, then mince or grate the garlic. Roughly chop spinach. Grate cucumber directly into a medium bowl. Season with salt. Finely chop chili, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping chili!)

Start curry
3

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then shallots. Cook, stirring often, until almost tender, 2-3 min. Add Indian Spice Mix, garlic and 1/4 tsp chili. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.) Cook, stirring often, until shallots are tender and spices are fragrant, 1-2 min.

Cook chickpeas
4

Add chickpeas, including their liquid, broth concentrate and 1/2 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl) to the pan with shallots. Using a potato masher, roughly mash chickpeas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until curry thickens slightly, 7-8 min. (TIP: If needed, reduce heat to medium to maintain a gentle simmer!) Season with salt and pepper. Add spinach, then stir until wilted, 1-2 min.

Make cucumber raita
5

Drain any liquid from grated cucumber. Add yogurt, half the cilantro and 1/4 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl) to the bowl. Season with pepper, then stir to combine.

Finish and serve
6

Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in remaining cilantro. Divide rice and chickpeas between bowls. Dollop cucumber raita over top.
