Ingredients

500g turkey mince

1 small onion, grated

3 cloves garlic, crushed

2 tsp fresh ginger, grated

2 tsp garam masala

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tbsp olive oil

1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes

200ml coconut milk

150g spinach leaves, washed and roughly chopped

2 tbsp plain yoghurt or coconut yoghurt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the turkey mince with the grated onion, 1 clove of garlic, 1 tsp ginger, 1 tsp garam masala, and a pinch of black pepper. Shape into 12 small koftas
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the koftas and cook for 4–5 minutes, turning, until browned all over (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet). Remove and set aside
  3. In the same pan, add the remaining garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute, then stir in the remaining spices
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes and coconut milk, bring to a simmer, and return the koftas to the pan. Simmer gently for 15 minutes until the koftas are cooked through and the sauce has thickened
  5. Stir in the spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Swirl through yoghurt just before serving.

Cooking Tips

Add a handful of sweetcorn or peas for colour and sweetness. Swap smoked haddock for salmon or cod if preferred. To make ahead, cook the base (leeks, garlic, potatoes, stock) and add the fish and spinach just before serving.
