Method


  1. For the curry, place the coriander seeds, cumin, ginger, turmeric, cardamom and garlic into a mortar and pestle and pound together. Add the lemon juice and stir to make a paste.

  2. Heat the oil in a pan and add the spice paste, Scotch Bonnet chillies and onion. Fry gently for five minutes, or until the onion is softened.

  3. Add the white wine and simmer until reduced by half.

  5. Add the spinach and stir until just wilted.

  6. For the raita, mix the raita ingredients together in a small bowl.
