Lean Beef Keema Saag With Cumin Rice And Naan

Heat a pot with a matching lid with a knob of butter over a medium heat

Once melted, add your cumin seeds and basmati rice and cook for 1 min or until fragrant and lightly toasted

Once toasted, add 250ml [320ml] [500ml] water and a pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat

When the rice is boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Remove the rice from the heat and keep covered until serving – this is your cumin rice

While the rice is cooking, boil a kettle

Peel and finely slice your brown onion[s]

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Cut your tomato[es] into wedges

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat

Once hot, add the sliced onion and chopped garlic and cook for 7-10 min or until softened

Meanwhile, dissolve your chicken stock mix, tomato paste and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar in 200ml [260ml] [340ml] boiled water – this is your tomato stock

Reboil a kettle

Wash your spinach, then add it to a colander and pour boiled water all over it so that it starts to wilt

Rinse the wilted spinach under cold running water until it's cool

Once cool, squeeze as much water out of the cooled spinach as you can, then chop it roughly

Once the onion has softened, turn the heat up to high, then add your mince, garam masala, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to the pan and cook for 3-4 min or until starting to brown

Add the tomato wedges, chopped spinach and tomato stock and cook for 5-6 min or until the sauce has thickened to a curry-like consistency and the mince is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your keema saag

Meanwhile, add your garlic & coriander naan[s] to toaster for 1-2 min or until warmed through
