Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 3–5 minutes or until softened. Add curry paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add chicken, stock, coconut milk and pumpkin and stir to combine. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
  2. Add cauliflower and beans and simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer for 5 minutes or until chicken is tender and sauce is thickened slightly. Stir in spinach until it just wilts.
  3. Meanwhile, rinse the rice under cold running water. Drain well. Place in a medium saucepan with the cardamom, saffron and 1¼ cups (310ml) water. Cover and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, tightly covered, for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stand for 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork to separate the grains. Remove cardamom pods. Serve curry with the rice.
