• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12 minutes. • Drain and return to saucepan. Add the butter and baby spinach leaves and stir to combine until butter is melted.

• Meanwhile, roughly chop cucumber. Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • Drain sweetcorn. • Heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken and Mumbai spice blend tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!

• SPICY! This is a mild paste, but use less if you’re sensitive to heat! Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add mild curry paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add coconut milk, the brown sugar and a splash of water and cook, stirring until heated through, 1-2 minutes. • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cucumber, sweetcorn, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
