Cooking Steps

1

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the plant-based butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook half the garlic, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. • Once the water has absorbed, stir through baby spinach leaves, until wilted.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: The Mumbai curry sauce and spice blend were widely praised, though some found the overall dish mild and suggested adding extra chilli or more of the spice blend for greater heat and intensity.
  • Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and straightforward meal to pull together, with a few noting prep took a little longer than expected.
  • Suggestions: Several reviewers recommended adding more coconut milk to loosen the sauce, and some suggested swapping or supplementing the zucchini with heartier vegetables like sweet potato. A few also noted the crumbed chick'n worked better when kept separate from the sauce rather than combined, and seasoning the rice more generously was a popular tip.
  • Leftovers: The dish reheated well for lunch the next day, though some found the crumbed chick'n turned chewy when reheated, so keeping it crisp by reheating in a frying pan rather than a microwave may help.
  • Portions: Some felt the sauce quantity was too small relative to the rice, and a few suggested adding an extra zucchini and tomato per two people to bulk out the curry.
