Method

  1. Rinse the rice in a sieve until the water runs clear. Tip into a lidded saucepan with 600ml water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 10-12 mins until tender and the water has been absorbed. Set aside with the lid on.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onions for 6-8 mins until lightly golden and tender. Add the garlic, chilli and curry powder, fry for 2-3 mins more, then add the chopped tomatoes and half a tin of water. Simmer for 10 mins, stirring frequently, until thickened slightly. Stir in the greens and bubble for 3 mins or until just wilted, then add the potatoes and peas. Cook for another 5-6 mins until piping hot. Season well and add a splash more water to coat the veg if needed.
  3. Fluff up the rice with a fork. Scatter the spring onion and coriander over the curry. Serve alongside the rice, with lemon wedges to squeeze over.
