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.
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.
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).
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.
