GET THE BASMATI ROLLIN’
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. Drain on completion if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
MARINATION STATION
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together ½ a tsp of curry paste and a drizzle of oil. Rinse the mini fillets to get rid of any residue from the packet, pat dry with paper towel, and add to the bowl. Toss until coated, season, and set aside to marinate.
TOASTY Almonds
Place the flaked Almonds in a large pot over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
ONTO THE BASE
Return the pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the diced Onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the grated Garlic and the remaining curry paste to taste. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Stir in the cooked chopped tomato and 80ml of water, and bring to a simmer. Pop on a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
CURRY ON...
Once the sauce has thickened, stir through the almond milk and slightly reduce for 2-3 minutes. Stir through the marinated Chicken. Cover with the lid and gently simmer for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, giving it a stir halfway. During the final minute, stir in the rinsed spinach until wilted. Season to taste and remove from the heat on completion.
