Method
Pull out the tray, lift up the foil and use a fork to stir the spinach into the rice. Re-cover and return to the oven for a final 20 minutes, or until the rice is fluffy. Uncover the tray, brush the top of each meatball with 1 teaspoon of mango chutney, fluff up the rice and spinach, season to perfection, then finely slice and sprinkle over some of the cooked chilli, to taste. Serve with dollops of yoghurt and extra mango chutney, if you like.
Tips
BUDGET-FRIENDLY MEAL PLAN TIPS:
This delicious one-pan recipe serves 6, so it's perfect if you’re having guests at the weekend – if not, simply cool and chill leftovers, and enjoy thoroughly reheated.
EASY SWAPS:
To make this more affordable, swap lamb mince for beef mince or go veggie (see below).
GO VEGGIE:
Simply swap in veggie mince and use a food processor to blitz up the mixture, which will help it bind together. Handle the veggie balls with care!
LOVE YOUR LEFTOVERS:
Leftover curry paste? Brush over fish fillets or chicken breast before grilling for an instant flavour boost. Or mix a little with natural yoghurt for a speedy dip to eat with poppadoms.
Leftover yoghurt? Top with seasonal fruit and a handful of oats, chopped nuts and seeds for a balanced breakfast. Or add a spoonful to spicy soups to temper the heat!
