1. Place rice in a saucepan, cover with x 1.5 amount of water. Cover with a lid, cook on lowest heat for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat, stand for 5 minutes. Stir carefully with a fork.

2. Heat a large frypan with 1 tbsp oil over high heat. Add diced chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes.

3. Reduce heat to medium, chop and add onion, garlic and coriander stems (reserve leaves). Chop (or crush) half the peanuts and add to pan along with 2 tsp cumin and 1 tbsp tomato paste. Cook for 3 minutes, or until softened.

4. Add diced pumpkin and stir well to coat. Pour in coconut milk and crushed tomatoes, bring to a simmer and cook, covered, for 7-8 minutes.

5. Trim and cut broccolini into 3cm lengths. Add to curry and cook for a further 3 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6. Serve curry over rice, garnish with reserved coriander leaves and remaining peanuts (chopped or crushed).

Notes:
If you prefer, you can trim and add broccolini on top of the rice to steam when there is 3 minutes remaining of the cooking time.

If you don’t appreciate coriander, perhaps try adding some lime juice or zest instead to still give it the punch of flavour!
