Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

• To a medium saucepan, add the water (for the rice) and bring to the boil.
• Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is 
tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. 
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don’t peek!  

Make the curry
2

• Transfer slow-cooked beef brisket including the liquid to a bowl and shred with 
2 forks. Thinly slice red onion.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion 
and cook until tender, 3-5 minutes.
• Add Mumbai spice blend, mild North Indian spice blend and tomato paste and 
cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add beef brisket, light cooking cream, the brown 
sugar and water (for the curry). Simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.

Make the salsa
3

• Roughly chop tomato and celery.
• In a medium bowl, combine tomato, celery and a drizzle of white wine vinegar 
and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
Little cooks: Take the lead by combining the ingredients for the salsa!

Finish & serve
4

• Stir baby spinach leaves and the butter through the rice. Season to taste.
• Divide spinach rice and beef brisket curry between bowls.
• Top with tomato salsa. Dollop with Greek-style yoghurt to serve. Enjoy! 
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by dolloping on the yoghurt!

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: The Mumbai spice blend and sauce were well received, though some found the overall dish mild and felt extra spice would help.
  • Ease of prep: The brisket can be tricky to shred, particularly if there is excess fat, so trimming before shredding may make the process easier.
  • Suggestions: Those cooking for larger groups found the spice levels underwhelming and recommend increasing the spice blend to suit your crowd.
  • Leftovers: No substantive feedback was provided about leftovers or storage.
  • Flavour: The sauce and spice blend were generally enjoyed, though some found the overall dish mild and felt extra spice would lift it.
  • Ease of prep: The brisket can be tricky to shred if there is excess fat, so trimming it before shredding may help.
