GET THE RICE GOING
Rinse the rice and place in a pot with 300ml of salted water. Pop on a lid and place over a medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes until the water has been absorbed. If it starts to dry out, add more water in small increments to continue cooking. On completion, it should be tender but bouncy. Remove from the heat and drain if necessary. Cover with the lid and set aside until serving.
MARINATING & TOASTING
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together ½ tsp of curry paste and a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken pieces dry with paper towel, and add to the bowl. Toss until coated, season, and set aside to marinate. Place the cashews in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
THE CURRY BASE
Place a pot for the curry over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion and diced Carrot for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the grated garlic, the remaining curry paste and some chopped chilli, both to taste. Fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Stir in the cooked chopped tomato and 100ml of water. Bring to a simmer, pop on a lid, and cook for 10-12 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET CREAMY
Once the sauce has thickened, stir through the coconut cream and Chicken pieces. Replace the lid and simmer for 6-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, giving it a stir halfway. During the final 1-2 minutes, stir through the shredded spinach and cook until wilted. Season to taste and remove from the heat on completion.
