  1. NICE RICE

    Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 300ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 25-30 minutes. Drain (if necessary) and cover.

  2. GOLDEN CHICKY CHUNKS

    Place a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken chunks until browned but not cooked through, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot or pan and set aside.

  3. AWESOME AROMATICS

    Return the pan or pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion and the diced tomato until soft, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated ginger, ½ the sliced chilli (to taste), and the NOMU rub. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly).

  4. CREAMY CURRY

    When the chilli is fragrant, pour the coconut cream into the pot or pan. Simmer until slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the browned chicken. Remove from the heat, stir through the drained pickled pepper, the rinsed spinach, ½ the picked coriander, a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste), a sweetener, and seasoning. Loosen with a splash of warm water if it's too thick for your liking.

  5. PLATE IT UP!

    Dish up the rice and the fragrant coconut chicken. Garnish with the remaining coriander and chilli (to taste). Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Indulge your senses, Chef!
